Day Thirty Two
It was our first night at Horseshoe Campground and our amazing view of lake Mindemoya has been replaced by a dense growth of trees and bushes. We slept well, figuring the silence of the woods, compared with the constant croaking of frogs from the lake made for a better nights rest. The weather forecasters are calling for possible rain and thundershowers this evening and we dressed on the warm side in preparation for a cool day and headed off to explore Parry Sound.
Thinking Parry Sound was a bustling little metropolis with lots to explore, turned out to be a sleepy little town with not too much going on. We drove down to the harbour for a long walk along the bay. Discovering that there was only a few mini sidewalks, designed to lead patrons from one restaurant to the next along the pier, we headed for one of Parry Sounds tourist attractions instead. The Tower Hill Heritage Garden is built on the tallest point in Parry Sound, with with a 360 degree view of the town and harbour.
The grounds around the tower has a maze of gardens, fountains and water pools. Being early spring, the fountains were off and the grounds were still scattered with debris from the Fall. I’m sure during the summer this place would be an amazing place to spend a hot afternoon. The tower itself was a short climb to the top, the viewing floor was disappointingly caged, making it difficult to take photos without the risk of dropping your phone as you had to put your hands through the cage to hold your phone on the outside to get a decent picture, I did risk a few photos and stopped, not worth loosing my phone over.
By mid afternoon the temperature made it to twenty seven and was extremely humid. I was quickly regretting my choice of cotton clothes as it began sucking all the moisture from the humidity in. We made a small tour of the town in the comfort of our truck and headed home for the day.
