Had breakfast at "Roosteraunt". This is just like the "Ugly Rooster" we went to on Mechanicville NY. Rioosteraunt is a small, cute, comfortable spot that serves up a delicious breakfast of eggs, bacon and home fries. We are now on the lookout for more places with "rooster" in its name
After leaving Smiths Falls we travelled 23 miles to the lock at Newboro ON.
This transit was easy with 3 small low rising and 1 lowering locks. This stretch of the Rideaux was very beautiful. There sections of very windy passages (sorry no photos since both hands had to be on the wheel). Rideaux Lake was flat and all to ourselves...at least for an hour.
After we arrived in Newboro at 3 we walked to Kilburns which is the village's general store. Wow what a place. It rivals any of the high-end boutiques one can find in Chappaqua or Katonah. Not only does it offer trendy casual clothing, but also a slew of fine foods under one roof.
On the way back we stopped by and looked at the blockhouse 
near the lock. This is one of the four remaining buildings left.
Carol Anne is safely tucked away for the night. 
We now have travelled over 633 miles and are now descending to Lake Ontario.
