Traffic Jam at Woodstock

If you think you have traffic problems check this out. There were 100,000 people trying to leave the 1960's Woodstock festival at the same time on a two lane road.

Vegas the town of Chapel's

Drive up chapel on the main drag Vegas.

This was a cool looking entrance to a chapel.
Weddings on the way.

In Vegas we stayed at the Stratosphere which had a cool tower.

Susanne's 60th Birthday party was up top of the tower.

Dinner at McMullan's Irish Pub - Vegas


Happy hour and half price entries was in order our first night in Vegas. This potato nacho's was more than the four of us could eat considering we had wings, fish and more.
A neat pub across the street from the Orleans casino.

We are working on the Nacho's.

Beach Shower

Kind of a neat looking beach shower...George

At the Lake

The lake basin last Friday has a good amount of boats now out. Some are waiting till the bitter end so they don't get buried in the back of the crowd...leading to a delayed spring launch.
Was up at the lake prior to Thanksgiving for a insurance boat survey. Most of the work is now done on the boat and boy what a warm day last Friday was...just like summer...took a walk on the beach in shorts with my feet in the water. That might be the end of that though...George

Early in the season some of the boater stuck a tree branch into the ground. Wooden steps were added and as the summer has progressed plywood palm leaves were added one by one...kind of neat...wonder if it will survive the winter storms.

On the beach in Bayfield.

Engagement Party


The gang gathers at our Nicole's engagement party.
Last Saturday Nicole and Nathan held their engagement party at Nathan's dad's home. Some of our family was tied up with Thanksgiving commitments but Nathan family, about 50 aunts, uncles, cousins and friend came out on a sunny cool afternoon...George



Grace goofing off.

Boats are all Out

On the hard once again.
Today Trekker came out and our lake season is about over. Copout came out a few weeks ago...George

On the way Home - Sunflowers

Not far from Nairan, Ont.
On my way home from the lake I came across two fields of sunflowers. One on each side of the road. Kind of a neat small looking flower much different than I am used to seeing...George

A horse farm is located behind the field.

Red's - A busy Take-out in Maine

Every time we passed Red's there was a lineup. Located on the waterfront and downtown small town Maine.
If you like seafood takeout and are anywhere near Wiscasset, Maine you might want to check out Red's Eats...George

This is about 30 minutes before Red's opened on Sept. 5th 2016. The line is starting to form.

A rainy evening in August

It is early evening and the rain is about to come down...August 2016...George

Evening Wine in Maine

I was up to Maine with my friend Don early in September to see the small gauge steam trains running as part of a Convention. Our friend Bill S. took this photo...very artsy...George
