Nov 2 2011-High Falls Trail

The High Falls Trail is a very short and scenic trail. This is the first set of falls. Another view of the first falls.

This is the second set of falls entering the Muskoka River.

This is High Falls. Not a lot of water coming over the falls at this time.

Another view of High Falls. We would really like to come back in the spring and see the difference. Like I said, a very sort and scenic trail. Highly recommended!

Oct 25 2011-Getting The Boat Dressed For Winter

It's that time of the year again to get the Walkabout dressed for winter. First, we take off the summer outfit.

Then we build the frame.

Tie down all the framework,

And put on the winter clothes. Done!

Oct 22 2011-My Birthday Continues

My birthday continues. Joanne decided to throw me a surprise birthday party. Barry and Angie, Diane and Floyd, and Marg and Mike showed up. Nice surprise! I got another cake from Joanne. Fortunately, there were not too many candles, and I managed to blow them all out.

I got a bottle of chocolate syrup and a nice new sweater from Diane and Floyd.

I got a new tackle box from Marg and Mike.

And I got a tackle box full of fishing tackle from Barry and Angie. Thank you everyone. It was a great birthday!

Oct 21 2011-It's Still my Birthday!

It's still my birthday! After opening up my gifts, Joanne told me that we were going to the new Chinese Buffet Restaurant for supper. We met some friends of ours and invited them to join us.

After finding out it was my birthday, our waiter brought me a surprise dessert.

Because it was my birthday, our friends insisted on paying the tab. Very nice of them to do this!

Heading out the door with a full belly. Nice dinner and a nice surprise!

Oct 21 2011-It's My Birthday

Today is my birthday! I got balloons from Joanne. I got a new T-shirt from Udo.

I got a birthday cake from the staff at the store.

I got a new rechargeable spot-light for the boat from Joanne.

And I got a singing birthday card and a gift certificate for Bass Pro shop from Joanne. Happy Birthday to me!

Oct 11 2011-A Drive Around Muskoka

After leaving the boat at Udo's, we decided to take a drive around Muskoka. It was a beautiful warm day. We stopped at Halfway Lake and made a few casts. Then we stopped at Moot Lake to try our luck.

We drove around Ril Lake, Echo Lake, Dickie Lake, Wildcat Lake and ended up in Baysville.

From there we drove to Dorset to see Robinsons General store.

On the way home we enjoyed a great sunset. Nice relaxing way to enjoy Muskoka!

Oct 11 2011-Walkabout is out of the water.

It's that time of the year again to take the Walkabout out of the water for the winter. Joanne is getting the boat ready to go. Here I am heading to the dock to load on the trailer.

We're on!

Once again, thank you Udo for the use of your truck and your help.

We're parked for the winter and ready to winterize and cover the boat!

Oct 7 2011-Visit with Jason, Mel, & Family

We finally got to meet Miles! Miles is not too sure about being kissed by a strange woman. The weather was nice enough that we could sit out on the deck.

Campbell and I played a little soccer with his new ball.

We tickled each other!

And we wrestled together. Campbell has a lot more energy than me and was declared the winner. The visit was short, but we really enjoyed it!

Oct 4 2011-The Last Time

Today is the last time we go out fishing on the Walkabout for 2011 before putting the boat away for the winter. The last time Joanne is trying to catch the big one!

The last Bass!

The last view coming back to the Marina!

The last time docking the boat. We had a great season and we are already looking forward to next year!
