One last ride for the adventure riders, early this morning, around the lake. See you all next year at the 3rd Annual Eastern Ontario Adventure Rally.
Young turks under the heat lamp – new birds for the fall have been installed in the barn. They are cute and cuddly right now – I’ll keep you posted on their growth.
Don’t forget the Winemakers Dinner on Sunday June 06.
The Second Annual Eastern Ontario Adventure Rally started with a hearty breakfast, designating groups based on experience or routing and then a revved-up departure for a day of riding -and what a day it was!
It’s all about having great accessories…..
camping oasis
Super elite, sprinters and easy riders found a suitable group to ride with, at their own pace.
A relaxed outdoor barbecue was held when all returned to the Resort. Good comaraderie.
The horsedrawn carriage was a nice touch for the wedding
photos today. What a day for horsepower!
Tomorrow heralds the second annual Eastern Ontario Adventure Rally with bikers from across the province arriving to camp/cottage for a weekend of riding with a group of like-experienced, on and off road riders. The routes have been pre-determined and this gang provides an easy mix of fun and tall tales. Welcome back! Last year the group assembled for a morning photo (shown here) before hitting the trails.
The moon was burning through the trees tonight but try as I might I couldn’t get the camera to co-operate so it looks like a study of the tree trunk….I expect to hear howling after midnight.
I hope you are enjoying the high temperatures and sunshine – ideal weather for a resort vacation……….need I say more?
It looks like change is inevitable….the blog name will soon be “Living the Dream” – can you handle that?
Early morning floatplane landing
on the water as the fishing boats catch the action and the fish.
You do not want to mess with the papa goose….he’s very protective of his brood!
Glorious flying day for clubs from near Ottawa, Oshawa and Lindsay. June Special for pilots….free coffee in the Wild Blue Yonder! Make us your destination for lunch, dinner, overnight or activities.
They’re back…..with gosslings. You may recall I recently took a photo of hundreds of geese on the lake….today they returned with families in tow.
Waterfront fowl on display…heron, duck, goose….a nature postcard. Sorry, the butterfly didn’t make the photo.

This coming weekend the dual purpose (aka crossover or enduro) motorcycles descend on us for the second annual Eastern Ontario Adventure Rally – riders will take to the trails on Saturday, riding 500 km before the barbecue and campfire.

Still seats available for the June 06 Winemakers Dinner featuring John Howard (Niagara). Dinner with wines only $79 per person. Silent Auction with proceeds to the Arthritis Society – no good television to distract you – hockey scores will be close at hand. How can you not want to attend?
This male mallard looked like a kid at a swimming pool learning to dive…he was tentative and made a lot of noise before jumping in and swimming away.

It’s been a wonderful weekend of wedding anniversaries, birthday celebrations and activity. The Outdoor Patio was the place to be for a quick lunch or leisurely cocktail. The Victory cruise boat took Brunch guests out for a shoreline tour and the horses did several trail rides….several boats were out with avid and weekend anglers, the walking trails were well used and the waterfront was hopping….great weekend to start the summer season! What were you doing?
One year later….the McLarens return to the Hearthside Room for an anniversary dinner. Great to see them back! 
Woke up to a racket on the shore….the ducks were disturbed, the water was churning – it was the carp trolling along the shoreline. The water is so clear it was easy to point out the sunfish and the carp. As I sat on the dock I was treated to the wildlife show with herons, osprey, water creatures and Hunter trying to figure out what was going on!
Spa notes….even the horses enjoy a pedicure. Douglas, our ferrier, was here today to care for the horses hooves…they loved it and so will you when you go trail riding.

Today was the ideal day to sit out outoddors and watch the world go by…can’t wait to see you on The Patio.

The docks are in and Rick Laws is ready to go fishing….Rick will be working on the waterfront this summer and is available for guiding. You may get hooked if you go out with him once.
It was a lovely day for a trail test drive….the horses behaved beautifully and Angela is now ready for all you wanna-be cowboys and cowgirls. Book your lessons or a one hour trail ride and enjoy the view from the saddle.
Could this be the Rice Lake Sasquatch or the Kawartha Yeti? Suspicious looking enough but as soon as it got wind it was a kiter….for a moment it seemed like the makings of a good story!
Is everyone staying home for the long weekend? Stay ‘n Play Packages for golfers are so reasonable it’s obscene. Book your overnight getaway and play two rounds of golf….breakfast included…..only $169 per person.
