From Parry Sound:
It's a little tricky coming from 401 WESTBOUND because the SHELL INFO CENTRE is a rest stop on the south side of the 401 and only has an exit from 401 EASTBOUND. BUT IT CAN AND WILL BE DONE! LOL!
Take the 400 to 401. Take 401 WESTBOUND to exit 333 which is WINSTON CHURCHILL BLVD.
Exit onto Winston Churchill Blvd. turning left to go over the overpass and get back onto the 401, but EASTBOUND this time. It's just a turn around to get you on the right side of the highway.
The SHELL INFO CENTRE is about a km or less past Winston Churchill Blvd. on the right.
There is a WENDY'S, TIM HORTONS, small arcade and a Nicholby's shop with lots of FREE Ontario Tourism brouchures. It's definately nothing fancy, but it's a great spot to meet DISer's because it's open and we can move around easily.
We get our munchies and go upstairs via elevator of stairs. We went there for coffee last week and the upstairs was closed! I got them to open it up. I think the custodian didn't want to clean upstairs. The upstairs is usually empty. I hardly see others up there. I bring crayons for my kids and let them run around, it's good for that.
Here is a copy of the post of directions I did from the Feb 24 DISmeet. SEE YOU REAL SOON! S
DIRECTIONS:
Here is a map from MAPQUEST, I hope it's not too confusing. It's very easy to get to from 401 EAST BOUND. SHELL INFO CENTRE is the first REST STOP after Winston Churchill Blvd (exit 333), less than one km from exit 333 from HWY 401 EASTBOUND on the right.
Coming the 401 WESTBOUND is a bit more tricky. There isn't an exit from westbound so you'll have to take exit 333 Winston Churchill cut off, drive over the overpass to get back onto 401 EASTBOUND then exit right away to SHELL INFO CENTRE.
I posted directions from 403 in an early post. From QEW is same as 403 directions but add about 10 minutes drive up Winston Churchill Blvd.
The Krispy Kreme is about 10-15 drive and there is a
Walmart on Winston Churchill and the 401. Square One has the closest
DISNEY STORE and that's about 20 minute drive. CHAT SOON! Sandra

NOTE: Not the greatest map, doesn't even show Winston Churchill which is a major road.
I know what it is like to have to put down a dear family member.Your family will be in my thoughts.
I remember those baseball practices on Saturday mornings and going to all the baseball games in the evenings with Dan and Tim. Hope you all have loads of fun!
