2024 Trip to Bolerama & Takoma Park - Long Beach Conservation Area, Wainfleet, ON, Canada, Day 1

 Wednesday, July 10, 2024 - Home, 186.9 Miles, 186.9 Miles For The Trip

We eventually left Oswego, hopped down rt 34 to the Thruway, and crossed at the Peace Bridge in Buffalo. Some rain on the way, but better than what we left. Lots of tornado warnings for Oswego.

We are in sites 76 & 74, both very wet. There is a small lake at the front of the sites. 15 Amp electric & water, although I couldn't reach the water without every hose I own. I had to use my 30 amp, 30' extension cord combined with the trailer cord to reach the power pedestal. Very low voltage. My power monitor shuts off the trailer power due to low voltage (under 105V) when ever the AC compressor kicks on. I bypassed it for awhile just so I could bring the inside temperature under 87°F. $200.00 Canadian for 5 nights - $146.80 was charged to my card or $29.36 per night US. It would be worth it if they were really 15 amp sites - my AC only draws 11 amps, but pulls the voltage down to an unsafe level.

There are a couple of 30 amp sites behind us, but the campground reservation page described them as poor.  Since they are either underwater or have 1' deep ruts in them, I can understand the rating.  I wish the power pedestals were at the back of the sites; we could sneak power from them, but the posts are by the road.


The Guidos set up their Clam on one of the high spots between our sites.

Dinner was cheese brats, Bush beans & applesauce, one of our "go to" meals on first nights since i7 is so simple to put together.

Until next time.
