Sibbald Point Provincial Park
Sibbald Point Provincial Park
Location: Sutton West, Ontario
I planned a camping trip to the closest provincial park to Toronto. The weather forecast predicted 100% rain and it poured on the highway, but the rain never got to the park! The wind blew it away.
The boys made a fire while we set up the tents. We checked out the beach then barbecued some sausages for lunch. We waited for some latecomers, then tried out a trail called Maiden Hair. It turned out to be a run through the forest because we would get bit by mosquitoes if we ever slowed down. As such, I don't have a picture of us on the trail! At the beach, it was extremely windy, but the water was warm. Some of us went for a dip while the sun was still out. Back at camp, we roasted marshmallows, sausages, meatballs and chicken wings. The sun had set by the time we decided to watch the sunset, but we managed to catch the colours it left on the horizon. We talked around the fire pit until it was close to bed time. Then we took a walk to see the stars. We saw some bats flying low and a few shooting stars.
