Saturday afternoon drive

Our Internet has been going off every morning for the last few days. It hasn't been happy times.

Off to check my assigned and unassigned Western Chorus Frog sites, there were a lot of cyclists out and about. Motorbikes, ATVs, and walkers, as well.


Site 300

Nada! As I emerged from the ditch, there were cyclists!



I've always liked this spot.



I'm proud to say we did NOT run over this painted turtle. I took it across the road in the direction in which it was headed. It was 13 C., which was lovely.



Site A

This is what I call Site A. I'd just happened by and heard them calling last time. It's right beside an old quarry. It's a lovely green, the water.
I don't know what the truck was doing. There was no one in it. There was a car in front, the driver walking around the car smoking. We skedaddled.

We always giggle at these signs. I mean, why would they be playing in the street??!! Then, we kept on driving, and saw 5 teens biking!



This is the back of the old Nestle building, now Canopy Growth.



There were quite a few people at Old Slys Road finding some nature. There was a loon, as well. We didn't stop for a photo.



Some people have been physically distancing. As we drove, there were a lot of people sitting in a circle on driveways, keeping a discreet space between them. There were lots of cars at some places. Several places had more than several people hanging out.



People out fishing on the Rideau.



We thought we'd try Code Road, there were none where I'd heard them before. However, just before that spot, I could hear them. Out I got. This is site C. Site B is Narrows Locks.

There were none at the place I'd heard them before, Site B.

We passed these kids, there was another ATV in the group. We were doing the speed limit, but they were catching up to us!
