June 25-26 Trent to Campbellford

Trenton is a port on Lake Ontario. The Trent-Severn Canal begins at Trenton, on the Trenton River and makes its way west northwest to the Georgian Bay tow of Port Severn. It covers some 240 miles, and traverses 42 locks. It rises from the level of Lake Ontario to Lake Simcoe at more than 800 feet above sea level than descends via locks to the level of Georgian Bay.

Quickly ran to town to take some photos of Trent while John got fuel.
As we approached the railroad bridge a Canadian Pacific train was kind enough to be part of a photo-op.

At the next lock, Cutter jumped ship, again

The lock master warned us about the Canadian Geese, they try to keep them away,from the locks because of what they leave behind. John rephrased that and I won't repeat it.

An old swing bridge makes a great reference photo for Vicky's art work.

Seems like all we do is go through locks. This is a double lock, raising us 48 feet in total. When we go into it, there is a horizontal cable, to tie bow and stern as the water raises.

John and Vicky crossed the suspension bridge in Campbellford.

Yes, Linda, Mom crossed it too.

Campbellford is known for the artist that designed the Looney, the two dollar coin as well as the cheapest fuel on the canal. They have two gas stations that service the cars on the street and the boats behind them in the water at the same price. We have paid as much as $1.27 a liter and here the price is 91.9 . cheaper than New York.

We tied up to the city park, checked in with the chamber of commerce, got their wifi code, keys to the showers and gave them a whole dollar per foot. Again, Cheaper than New York.
