EARLY ANNOUNCEMENT – Save the Date

1st Weekend in June 2015 (June 4-7, 2015)

Come join us at Ferris Provincial Park for a FROG Rendez-vous. We hope to set up an R-Pod village in the Valleyview Campground which features 20 Electric sites plus Non-Electric sites and a Comfort Station with Showers. The Bedrock Campground has an additional 20 Electric sites while the Park itself has 163 sites in total.

DRIVING DISTANCES: Ottawa (3 hrs.), Kingston (1 ½ hrs.), Toronto (2 hrs.), London (4 hrs.), Barrie (3 hrs.), North Bay (5 hrs.), Sudbury (6 hrs.), Niagara Falls (3 ½ hrs.), Syracuse (3 ½ hrs.),

ABOUT FERRIS PROVINCIAL PARK:
Located just outside of Campbellford Ontario, Ferris Provincial Park has 163 large spacious and leafy sites, unspoiled acres of woods and river banks to be explored.

NEARBY:
Experience the gentle sway of the Ranney Gorge Suspension bridge, Ontario's first 300 foot-long suspension bridge and over 30 feet high above the Ranney Gorge and located on the Trans Canada Trail.

Your Ferris Park Permit allows you access to nearby Presqu’ile Provincial Park and Sandbanks Provincial Park, which are 40 min and 1 hr 20 min away respectively.

Natural Heritage Education programs provide families with hands-on, entertaining ways to explore the park and learn more about its famous sand dunes, discover the watery world of the Outlet River or learn about the park’s fascinating history.

Blackflies aren't really much of a problem at Ferris; I wouldn't be concerned.  There will be a few mosquitos about at night, but a Thermocell will keep them at bay.

I had an opportunity to visit Ferris Prov. Pk. this past week-end and take some photos to show what the park looks like in June. Had a nice tour from the "Friends of Ferris Prov. Pk." who showed me the highlights.

This is near my old stomping grounds I grew up on the trent severn waterway. I was a little north of there in Peterborough and Lindsay. I will have to see if I can get up there. It's a 12 hour drive for me.

I might join you guys as well and drive up from Virginia.  As always, I'd be more than willing to do a, "How to Solar Power" if anyone is interested.  Be great if someone wanted me to do their unit as
an example.
