Owen Sound

Kevan in the car wash:)
Today was a great ride!!  Beautiful weather and gorgeous scenery.  We started out the day with giving the Harley a bath.  It was very dirty from yesterday!  We then headed to the largest lift lock in the world in Peterborough.  Very cool to see.  A party boat was unloading on the top side and 3 ski boats unloaded in the lower area.

We then headed out to Orillia.  What a picturesque area at the top of Lake Simcoe.  The downtown core was closed off to traffic and a REAL sidewalk sale was in progress!  We would have liked to browse around for a long time, but had to head out again after having lunch here.

We went to the beach in Collingwood, enroute to Owen Sound.  A great area, lots of new construction in Collingwood, and a resort feel to the area.

 Kevan and I had dinner at the hotel we are at, which is on the Georgian Bay, and is very beautiful.  A wonderful way to end the day.

Tomorrow we leave early to catch a ferry in Tobermory that will take us up the Bruce Penninsula.  A very picturesque area, and good riding roads!  It's going to be another great day!!

    Enjoy the water while you have it, I have a feeling you won't see much water for a while after Thunder Bay!
