Pass through some small towns just north of the 'Highway of Heroes' (Hwy 401), like Brooklin for instance, which is a young and up and coming town. It is the fastest growing place in the east right now and currently a highway entrance and exit is being built which will bring more economy and production to the area.   |

Beaverton (Trent Severn) is further north and in my hunger to photograph as much as I can in such a sort time today, I stop to smell the roses in a matter of speaking and photographed the Trent River. The Trent flows from Rice Lake in Southeastern Ontario and empties into the Bay of Quinte. Stopped again to take a look at a good looking bridge but once discovered a little more closely it was nothing more than swampland. I thought it was my imagination at first, but it appeared as though a giant toad was staring at me from the water top. A closer look proved it! I laughed and laughed! Boy he must surely own this swamp for he is the biggest toad I've ever seen! |

Now back in the car to continue north on Hwy 12 passing the farmlands of Brechin and made another stop in Gravenhurst. The sun is high in the sky now and the rocks that have long ago been blasted through to create these roads on the Trans Canada highway are getting higher and higher. Made a stop to take a look at some gear and kayaks in Muskoka Outfitters and left with the idea of buying on of the yellow ones, while thinking, well if something ever happens to me, at least my kayak will be found..! There are quite a few waterfalls to see in Bracebridge. It will certainly be worth your trip as there are at least 3 in one area alone. An ideal way to enjoy the waterfalls on the South Muskoka River in Fraserburg is by canoeing this placid reach in late summer! |
