Parry Sound, Ontario

Downtown Parry Sound
The sign says it all
According to the welcome sign at the town entrance, Parry Sound is the "Jewel of the 30,000 Islands" region of Georgian Bay. We know that some of those islands are really just rocks but it's still a beautiful place. We went shopping today and actually had lunch at a McDonalds which may not be a big deal but to us (me) it was a nice encounter with civilization. This town has a Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Canadian Tire (like a little Wal-mart), and many other familiar commercial enterprises. The biggest treat was shopping at a supermarket that was like what we have at home. I can't emphasize enough how remote the places we frequent while on our travels up here are so to us this is a metropolis. This was also our second visit (last in 2009) to Parry Sound so we had a good idea what they had to offer.

I think they have a bear problem

We are going on a new, non-boating, adventure tomorrow and will provide a full update on the blog tommorow evening so check back.
