6 Pack in Prince Edward County

The travelling 6 pack was at it again today. We started out at 8 am in rain but full of sunny optomism as we headed out for a day trip touring United Empire Loyalist country. We stopped on the oldest road in Ontario to see a yellow house that was part of a land grant from King George to an army officer during the American revolution - he was granted 1000 acres of land. The old yellow house was built in 1808.
We then proceeded to scour the island located just South of Trenton in Lake Ontario, to find some of its famous cheese factories and 34 wineries. The picture you see here was taken at a lake on the island which is 62 metres above Lake Ontario. Scientists still do not know how the lake is able to be fed and maintain its water when it is above all other landforms in the area. You will see pictures of the 6 pack just across the road from this picture and the lower level of Lake Ontario in the background.
It was fun to get together and travel the county for the day. Click here for a few more pictures of the island.
