Off to our little cottage I went, oh oh as I turned down our road, my car started slipping and sliding. Well not stopping when I am this close I continue down to our neighbours driveway and park at the top. Say a little prayer that my car won't get stuck and head off down his driveway (it's plowed ours isn't).
I soon realize that there is a good chance I might get stuck and not be discovered until May. There is no way I can get across to my cottage, each footstep off the path goes down into the snow halfway up my thigh.
Our neighbour has some amazing art work in his garden, I love snooping around when no one is there. |
Back up to the car, here's hoping. OK, this is not looking good. Forward isn't working, thank goodness for reverse for some reason in the snow my car goes much better backwards. Finally on the road, this is going to be fun, pedal to the metal and off I go, I should be ok if I don't have to stop. Next stop is Bala Falls. Yeah, the water is running.
I am thinking people should be preparing for some major flooding, this is only the 2nd real day of melting and there are puddles everywhere. The drains are plugged and the water is pooling everywhere.
One of my favourite 4 hour drives in southern Ontario. Up highway 11 to Gravenhurst, along 169 to the 38 through the Wahta Reserve to Hwy 400 and down the Georgian Bay side. My other expectation was beautiful sunset pictures today. Hello I totally forgot the sun was setting an hour later today. Looks like another trip will have to be planned.
