Sparky's Epic Adventure Across North America (Kingston & Granby Quebec)

Sparky's Epic Adventure took a short break for 5 days in Kingston, Ontario. We didn't do any sightseeing because I have visited Kingston several times in previous years, and Sparky isn't big on touring museums or historic sites. He was more interested in hanging out with our friends, Scott and Judy. 

I used the downtime to have my Mazda 3 serviced by the folks at Kingston @Mazda. Thanks to Alex LaFrambois for fitting me into the busy shop schedule.

On another day, I managed to squeeze a hair appointment in for me and a spa day for The Sparkinator. We were all fresh and set to head out again on Thursday, June 8th.

To start the day, we headed east toward Cornwall, Ontario, then turned off the 401 freeway to enjoy the secondary roads that pass through various communities. Sparky ran into a snarly 'wolf' in Cornwall. I had a good chuckle watching him stand his ground.

We passed through several charming villages in the area between Cornwall, Ontario, and Granby, Quebec. There was a detour for road work in a village, and my French was a bit rusty. Even with Miss Google's help, I still made a wrong turn and added another 30 kilometers to my driving distance. Unfortunately, I didn't keep an accurate record of where I took each photo. This is a collage of several locations.
