Zaph has had a few boring weeks, so we decided he needed a trip to the beach and Ed needed to go geocaching. I called Rob and Ellen at their cottage and asked if they wanted company, they did so off we went.

First thing on the agenda when we arrived was checking out the rewiring Rob had done ... Ed said he did a great job. Next thing on the agenda was the beach.

A little chilly for the rest of us but Zaph thought the water was just fine.

Geocaching took us up the west side of the Bruce Peninsula.

Zaph really wanted to test the river out.

It's been awhile since this dock was useful.

The cottages in the distance had waterfront access when they were built.

Ellen's stepfather had a cottage at Pikes Bay. As Pikes Bay didn't have a beach, the kids were occasionally driven to the beach at Old Woman's River. Much to Rob's amazement we found the beach. Today it is part of Black Creek Provincial Park.
