At a crossroads

 

We went for a drive on a busy Saturday afternoon.


The drive was lovely, except for concerns about sledders. They are everywhere!
On the bridges... on the roads, popping up over snow drifts.


Happily, we were not in a hurry.

Did you know that they have signals, just like bikers?

We spotted one sled hidden by a snowbank, they were moving carefully across the bridge.


We haven't been up to Rosseau for awhile. Former Bala residents, chefs Richard and Julie, took over one of our favourite restaurants: Crossroads.


Savour Muskoka - Culinary Experiences

Crossroads Pub and Grill. Richard Lalonde has become owner and executive chef. We've been before: We're at the Crossroads

The sledders filled the place this visit, having a grand time, boosting the economy by purchasing gas, too.
Zero Alcohol The Smart Choice!
They all line up in the parking lot!


Apparently the trail was 'brutal', they told us.
It must be hard on your body.

Action taken to restrict speed of snowmobiles: Dog’s death prompts plan to have signs put up


KENSINGTON – Snowmobilers travelling through Kensington along the Confederation Trail will soon have a visual reminder to take things slower.

The P.E.I. Snowmobile Association says it will post 50-km/h speed limit signs along a portion of the trail after a family dog, a golden retriever, was struck and killed by a snowmobiler Wednesday evening (Feb. 3, 2010).
