Road Trip 2009

First picture is a cool tree growing(or dying depending on how you look at it) on top of a large boulder beside a beaver pond. Next is the dam made by beavers which created the pond. After that we have Deb hiking on a trail in Algonquin park. The final picture is an old power station we came across in a town along the way. There was a suspension bridge over the waterway where we wandered out to snap the shot and check out the sight while taking a break from driving. I never realized how difficult it is to walk on a suspension bridge...sure hurts the old knee joints! Overall it was a great trip but not too sure how many nights of icing my knee and ankle before I get rid of all the swelling. I sure can't handle car rides the way I used to be able to.

Deb was hoping to see a moose while driving through Algonquin. The only wildlife we encountered was a little gopher having a dinner of tender grass beside the roadway just as we were entering Base Borden. The gatekeeper, after noticing us take a picture, explained that the rodent was her watchdog and often spends early evenings in the area.
