On the banks of Lake Ontario - Our campsite side yard with our cat, Wubie doing a little exploring. Lake Ontario is 53 miles at its widest point, 193 miles long, average depth is 203 feet, deepest at over 800 feet. At the West end, it receives water from Lake Erie via Niagara Falls and the Welland Canal and locks in Ontario Canada. At the East end, it empties into the St. Lawrence Seaway towards Quebec. Relaxing by the banks to the sound of the swells rolling over the rocky shore is so soothing.

The most spectacular sunset occurs here. The red sun is a huge ball sitting on the horizon of the lake and slowly sinks into the lake. Once the sun has set, the sky puts on a brilliant show of color with ribbons of red, pink, mauve, lavender, and many shades of blue spreading across the last moments of the day and bringing you gently into the night sky.
