Stopped in Marmora and got a box of electrical fixtures and 30-40 keys. Continued on to Renfrew and checked in at the Rocky Mountain Motel. When we went to look for a restaurant for supper we came upon hwy 17 and I said turn left. We immediately saw a sign for Wilderness Tours where Charlie is and it was only 25 kicks. We followed the signs and asked at the desk for Charlie. The young lady sent us to the bunk houses but there was no one there. We were just heading out when we spotted a jeep and sure enough it was Charlie. We met him at the main building and we had supper together. Afterwards he showed us one of the rapid areas and lunch spot for the tours. He is loving his job and is very enthusiastic. We returned to Renfrew and went to the wake. After waiting in line outside one of the first people we saw was Helen and Dean Moody. We did the rounds and had a good chat with Helen. Patsy was her first cousin. It was very warm and we returned to the Motel around 9. We were to far away from the main area to get the internet.

Sat with Helen and Dean and talked to various McGahern's and renewed acquaintances. Promised to visit Dean & Helen over the summer. Virginia invited us to a BBQ at her cottage but it wasn't till 6 pm and John (of course) wanted to go home. We called Meghan to see about going to Ottawa but didn't connect. We took an alternate route through Bancroft and called Pierre & Evelyn but no answer. Stopped at a garage sale and got 3 glass balls. Got home around 4 and had a nap. Leftovers for supper and early to bed.
