Is that last pic Fort York before one of the food festivals? Vegandale, maybe?

It is Fort York, but not for a food festival. They had a Simcoe day event with marching, firing of muskets and the canon.

Believe it or not in Campbellford. I've been through there a few times, never knew until someone told me about it.
Look for "Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge" it's over the Trent river near Ferris Provincial Park.
 
That butter tart place in Warsaw is excellent. Not as good as Betty's in Port Hope but a solid 2nd.

Awesome. That’s my Thursday/Friday ride sorted out.

The best place for butter tarts is supposed to be in Maynooth!

really?
there's an LCBO there
a gas station with a chip truck
a closed up Scotiabank that's for sale
and a brick building painted purple
looks like a dive bar
should be a place in hell for anyone that paints over brick

wonder which place sells the good butter tarts?
 
You really get around lol. You've also really taken to riding as well.
You see so many new members come in all hyped and within 6 months they're done.

I think there’s a general store somewhere. Edit. Nope. Algonquin Gourmet Butter Tarts

Dammit. The sore went in 2018 but they make and sell the tarts elsewhere.

Well, there is another reason to go to Maynooth, the road from there to Whitney is pretty good and then you’re at the east gate of Algonquin.
 
I often do a loop through Algonquin as a long day ride from Kingston. Camped in the park for a night a year or so ago. I fancy staying a bit longer (just another day or so) and riding some more northern roads. Aside from the provincial park campgrounds are there any other good ones near the east or west gate?

Nice will check that out, I have gone through Algonquin from Dorset over to Barry's Bay (to see the Avro model) I should do it the other way now. And they have apparently finished paving it now (y) (y)

I was in Barry's bay a few weeks ago and saw that model. Neat little place.
 
Sunday I'll either be doing Algonquin or Eganville from Peterborough. Beauty roads up there.

I like All Star Resort, near Madawaska. Relatively clean and quiet, great river for a swim or a paddle and it's right on the trail system if that's your thing.
There's also a place in Whitney, can't remember the name but they have cheap rooms.
The Sprucedale Inn used to have rooms for $30 a night. Good food, decent entertainment on the weekend.
