Here is the link to the 1,000 Island KOA that will be the Base Camp for this ride.

http://koa.com/campgrounds/ivy-lea/


We have arranged to get a 15% discount on the Rates quoted there, the Manager's name is Dave, just tell him you are with the NGW Club and he'll fix you up. There are a limited number of Cabins, so if you want one of those to share you should make your reservation ASAP.

Moored a boat at William's Marina across from the KOA for 3 years, back in '04 to '07. Bought an '08 Limited Edition in December last, have it at my brother's place in Larder Lake, and intend to put it back on the road for the fall and ride it out to its new home in Victoria. These rendezvous dates would be good for its road test. Still have friends in the area so could drop in for a coffee. Would be a good meet and greet. Always like putting names to faces.

Cheers

Good Day Folks;
HMMM, quite a quandry for me, how to get my Wing and the 5th wheel to the KOA at the same time? I suppose I could bring it down a day or two before, then take the truck home and come back on the Wing. Reverse the procedure when the fun is done. It is only a 100 miles each way.

Answer to a couple of questions

Mike C - you can leave the fifth wheel at my place if you need for a few days before and after

There is a Pecks Marina across the road that has motel like cabins - little fancier. Also it is only a few miles from Gananoque with other facilities, some more costly than others. The Glen House is also just a mile down the road- good place with a swimming pool.

KOA owner is Dave Barton. Good guy.

If anyone else needs to bring stuff early and needs a place to store stuff for a few days, let me know.

just found out yesterday that my faculty member is due on Sept 20. As our hospital has not seen fit to hire enough faculty, I do not think I can be away and so it looks like we will not be able to make it. An I was so looking forward to all the border questions about guns

I booked a basic cabin with David. Still wondering if my bride will be happy with that or if I should consider a local B&B room.
