This was a beautiful Park but it was way too expensive! Although it was almost empty when we arrived, it was fully reserved for Saturday night -- including the first come first serve sites which doesn't apply long weekends. Not happy re this. We couldn't stay beyond Friday. However, we rode our bikes around the park and enjoyed two nights here.
We toured about the town of Gananoque.
And we spent time doing research at the Gananoque Library and touring the countryside. There was a lady in library who happened to be Geraldine Chase. I had come across her name posting Shook info on the Shook family tree so it was quite a coincidence to meet her. She seemed to be getting a bit forgetful, but she did give us some info re home and grave locations. We drove to the Pine Grove Cemetery where Pearl was buried and found her grave. Drove by the old Shook home..
The Campground filled up on Friday night. We had an evening fire but it was cool outside.
No cancellations, so we left Saturday morning and drove to the Athens (ON not Ohio this time!) graveyard. We found Noah Shook and Mary Ann Townsend's graves.
We then drove to Plum Hollow Cemetery to see brothers Adam and Phillip Shook's grave. They had married Soper sisters.
And then it was on to Ottawa.
