Moving on .... but before we left Bobcaygeon we saw the couple below with their dog on a jet ski - complete with goggles (the dog). Like I said, Bobcaygeon is a great place to people watch :-)
Sunday was a lazy day moving west across Sturgeon Lake and into Fenelon Falls. We were relieved to see our favorite Chinese restaruant was still there! The Canadian Tire that used to be on the corner moved out to the edge of town and the building now is a Subway. The movie theatre has been closed for a number of years now but on the corner of the main drag is still Stokes on the Trent. This is a place my Grandma Drouhard shopped when she traveled with Janie and Joe Kraft (and kids) the year they all joined us on our summer trip - and that was about 50 years ago!
The falls is of course still there - although a relatively new electric plant now takes a good part of the water some days. The weekend boat traffic was very heavy but by the time we woke up Monday morning, we were the only ones at the dock! You can see the old lock in the picture below as this used to be two locks and was converted to a single electric operated one.
A really neat boat we saw at the dock with us: built in Orilla in 1923. All wood and the most ornate boat I have ever seen. Tomorrow: on to Coboconk!
