September 19, 2022 Forks of the Credit, Conservation park

 Went to this park with a lovely couple...close friends of ours.

Had a nice time...not much to see...fall colors not yet changed from green

One annoying experience: we got a ticket for 30$ for not displaying our permit letter!

We have an annual park for provincial parks...we booked earlier before coming here but there was no one to issue the paper permit for display and our annual pass had fallen off the dashboard and we got this ticket! There are only two options i.e. pay 30$ or go to court and I realize it's cheaper to pay 30$ than go to court. There is no option to prove we have the annual pass and that we have booked to enter this park. Most parks have a person at the entry who issues these display tickets but this park had no one. 

Except for this, we had a good time...mostly due to the company.

We saw a wild turkey outside the park and an interesting looking caterpillar in the park.

Where can you find dinosaurs in Toronto in 2022?

The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto has some amazing dinosaur skeletons on display.

One really surprising place full of many large/life-size dinosaurs I discovered today was at 

Scarborough Woodside Square Mall. (at Finch Avenue east and Mc Cowan road) These sculptures were spread all over the  aisles of this mall and those with kids below ten should go to this mall and have a look. I have no idea why these dinosaurs are there, how long they will be there and who put them there.  Check out this mall before they disappear.
