Prince Edward County Glenora Waupoos Black River ONTARIO CANADA

FROM WHEELCHAIR NOMAD DIARY...2003 CC
We drove Highway 41 through Napanee, and then Highway 33 passing a large electrical generation station to the Quinte Loyalist, the Glenora Ferry which links to Lake on the Mountain. Loyalists, who fled the United States prior to the 1779 American Revolution to live under British rule, settled this country attracted by free land grants and their added numbers led to the creation of Upper Canada or Ontario. Crossing white-flecked waters of Adolphus Reach, in a stiff cool breeze, we reached Glenora, once a centre of grist milling. From the ferry terminal, we drove up a steep hill offering scenic views overlooking the reach and overlooking a small deep mountain lake, called Lake on the Mountain. We drove road 13 to Black River to buy fresh PEC curd cheese and to view an old house which Bill had painted. From there, we went on to the winery. We met Ed Neuser, the founder and owner, an outgoing talkative white bearded German entrepreneur who migrated to Canada in the 1950’s.
