The Travels of the Agnew Family

While I was out watering some plants this morning I came across this spider web that was strung between a hosta and a tree. The dewy web glistened in the morning sun.

Off to Rob and Ellen's cottage today. First thing on the agenda is riding the ATV's. Today we decided to ride club trails that are further from the cottage that we haven't ridden before. Part of the trail was along the road, part of the trail was on a sub trail of the Bruce Trail with lots of trees and rocks to make it interesting, part was along roads that I wouldn't drive my car down but was perfect for the ATV and part of it followed the rail trail.

Due to yesterday's rain there was water on the trails especially on the dirt road. Rob managed create a wave that just about went over his head soaking himself when he drove fast through one of the puddles. Ed and I were more restrained and only got wet up to our knees.


A few sections had small lakes on the trail. Rob drove close behind me to benefit from me pushing the water out of the way.

The day was going great till the sky opened up and the rain came down. Didn't take long for Ed and I to be wetter than Rob ... well actually the rain made Rob wetter as well but it also rinsed the mud off of him.

There is one section of the trail called The Rock Cut. When we reached it and took a look at it. I got off my ATV, stamped my feet and said "I'm not driving up that hill". It was steep, there was a sharp turn on flat slippery rock, it was raining and I couldn't see out of my goggles due to fogging and rain. Ok, I'm also a wimp. Luckily, my husband loves me. He drove his ATV up the hill, then walked back down and drove my ATV up the hill. The rain stopped about 10 minutes from the cottage so we stopped changed into some dry tops we happened to have with us so we didn't look like total drowned rats when we arrived at the cottage.

It was a ride to remember.
