Peterborough - Sep 23, 2005 - Peterborough, Ontario, Canada

We made excellent progress today, in only 6 1/2 hours we locked through 11 locks - Buckhorn, Lovesick, Burleigh Falls, Young's Point, Lakefield, Sawer Creek, Douro, Otonobee, Nassau Mills, Peterborough, and Ashburnham.

We headed into Peterborough on foot in search of the Canadian Tire store to buy a new handheld GPS. After walking for an hour we broke down and took a bus the rest of the way. We bought the last Garmin hand held GPS in stock and caught the first of two buses back to the lock. We missed the second bus by seconds, actually seeing it pull away from us so we took a taxi the rest of the way. John spent the night playing with his new toy while I downloaded video from my new toy onto the computer or should I say tried to. There is quite a learning curve with the software to download and I'm pretty frustrated. I finally gave up and rolled all our Canadian coins up so we can get rid of them before we reach the U.S.
