Ridgetown, Thamesville and Dresden (with Uncle Tom's Cabin) [to be moved]

[flar]

Ridgetown, Thamesville and Dresden are farming communities located along old highway 21 in Southwestern Ontario. This
part of Ontario is flat, rural farm country. At the end of the tour is Uncle Tom's Cabin, terminus of the underground railroad,
which is located just outside Dresden. These towns each have classic brick downtowns and some handsome residential architecture.

Gorgeous. You made my day. Why I want to buy an SUV right now: to get out of Toronto and explore small town Canada/America!

I can see this motivating you to get a car, but why a SUV specifically? You don't have to ford rivers or navigate narrow canyons to get to these places .

Ridgetown,Thamesville and Dresden-nice looking Ontario towns!

Flar: It has been a while since I have looked at pics here-slow speed dial-up is a big hassle with pics-Good tour once again-along with Uncle Tom's Cabin to boot! - That last pic describes the board flat land of SW Ontario nicely.
