This past weekend was a beautiful weekend, so we jumped on board the motorcycles, met up with Dave and Angela and let David be our guide. For quite a while, he had been wanting to go and visit the marine railway at Severn Bridge, so off we went. It was beautiful, and nice and warm. It is interesting to see the boats drive right on board the ferry, and then get lifted up by the rail car and moved about a quarter of a mile or so and a few hundred feet up.
In this picture, the boats are actually on their way back down the railroad...
Dave and Angella check things out...
Dave then led us to this great spot over near Midland where the Indians have carved faces out of the pine trees, really neat. There were over 10 of these...
Had a great day on the bikes, and ended up at Swiss Chalet for dinner in Bracebridge.
Below is a pic of the bug shelter that Judy bought, and we set it up for the first time to check it out, and decided that Cleo and Patra should enjoy a bit of freedom from the RV. They loved it, and will be back in it soon, maybe in the desert.
That is it for now. Still getting ready to head south. Got the RV undercoated at Krown Rust Control this week, and have to get a new tire installed next week.
Starting to catch on to this retirement thing, it is going well....
Awesome pix! That rail ferry looks like quite the feat of engineering. I was starting to wonder when our latest retiree was going to update the blog ;) Great idea for the bug shelter - this year you certainly need it. Did you say you're putting Cleo and Patra IN the desert?! lol
ReplyDeleteHa ha! I'm silly, I thought you'd written dessert! Turns out I always spell that wrong - I thought you meant you'd bring the kitties out again after dessert, but I'm sure you meant the great sandy deserts of Arizona! Lol
