Because of our persistent propane leak we again headed off to Barrie and the Hitch House RV repair dudes; that was last Tuesday the 3rd of August. For the night of the 3rd we stayed at the Barrie KOA again which we raved about in a past blog and it was super as always. Here is the Flying Scotsman on the morning of the 4th awaiting the pipe fitters.






As literally all of the gas lines and tank fittings had to be replaced by hand over a two day period, we elected to head north and spend a couple of days in a hotel in the cottage region of Ontario. We picked the Marriott in Gravenhurst which is about 40 miles north of Barrie at the bottom of the Muskoka Lake tourist region.





The Marriott there is brand new and quite nice. Upon arrival we were surprised with an upgrade room which was the tops. There was a central living and full kitchen area complete with fireplace and off of each side of the picture here there were two separate bedrooms each with full bath; like, maybe we were expecting a crowd or something, eh. I think the total was about 900 square feet ... really awesome and for about $170 Canadian per night a super deal. Behind me in this photo was the balcony from which I shot a couple of great sunsets.






And my new friend Regatta with the Marriott in the background across the bay.
