September 22, 2017. Yesterday the CBC meteorologist said we should take today off. So I did, and went cycling between Plantagenet and Vankleek Hill, on the Russell Trail. This is Caledonia Springs, about half way along, once the site of one of the best hotels on the CPR. People would come from Montreal or Ottawa to enjoy the country and take the natural spring waters. The last hotel in the town closed in 1955. Nothing left now but a bike trail and a sign. #smallstories https://mastodon.social/media/-pUdrGfSjA-Nmgn41nc
