Beauview all dressed up in a Blanket of Snow

We had snow last weekend and then some rain and then more snow again. It looks like its here to stay now that the weather is to stay colder.

Come play in the snow with us! Or soak in the hot tub ... or both!

We still have spots available for Christmas and New Years.

Here's more photos -

Easier Trip Planning for Ontario Snowmobilers

From a Press Release just received from the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs, trip planning and navigation around Ontario just got easier.

New Website:
The OFSC’s new public website is totally revamped for this season with a new look, improved navigation and better information (www.ofsc.on.ca).

Interactive Trail Guide:
The new Interactive Trail Guide features the most accurate and up to date display of the entire 34,000--‐kilometre OFSC trail network available anywhere. As it becomes fully integrated and functional this season, OFSC snowmobilers will be able to plan their
rides, check for in--‐season re--‐routes and detours, and view the latest, colour--‐coded trail status updates online.

iSnowMobile:
OFSC snowmobilers can check trail status from their iPhones by downloading the entire OFSC
trail network directly from the Interactive Guide with the OFSC’s new iSnowMobile app (available at www.apple.com/iphone for $2.99).

Routable GPS:
Snowmobilers who ride with their Garmin, Magellan or Lowrance units can now purchase routable or non--‐routable versions of the OFSC provincial trail system on a base map that also
includes detailed lakes, rivers, roads, etc.

Snow in Algonquin Park

We drove through Algonquin park to visit our daughter Suzanne in Ottawa. Algonquin Park got enough snow on Friday that they had to plow and sand HWY 60.

Here's a photo from the Lake of Two River picnic ground next to Killarney Lodge on HWY 60 taken on Saturday.

Last Boat out of the lake

I took our motor boat into the marina for winter service and storage. Lucky for me that it's warm today. I got soaked from the wind and the spray as I went up the lake.

I didn't see any other boats on the lake or at docks as I passed by. Just after I got to the marina a storm front passed over Lake of Bays. Twice lucky that I didn't get caught in the rain.

For our guests safety, we are usually one of the first with their boat on the lake (Mid April this year) and the last to come ashore.

All our canoes, kayaks and peddleboats have been put away for the winter too.

Happy Thanksgiving - What did people do?

This has been a glorious Thanksgiving long weekend at Beauview with Sunny weather each day. We have guests from the U.S. and guests from Scotland. Many are young families. I'm glad I left all the toys out for them to play with!

What did people do?

One man went swimming. Kids played in the playgrounds, made sand castles. Played frizbee. Badminton. A number have gone out on the water, canoeing or out in the row boat. One family had a campfire down by the lake.

One family went to the Muskoka Heritage Place to ride the Train and see the Pioneer Village. Saturday was the last day for train rides this year. The Village will be open for Halloween.

There's still lots of leaves to look at too.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Where's Waldo, ... the chipmunk?

Waldo the chipmunk, was harassing me while I was trying to work this afternoon. He'd come up close and sniff. Then as soon as I went to get the camera, he went hiding in the leaves.

I finally got a picture of him.

Then the chickadees starting doing the same thing! ... but they wouldn't stay in one place.

Saturday Screams on Lake of Bays

Screams of "OHHH that's CCCOLD!" went across the lake on Saturday afternoon. Thank goodness for hot tubs. A couple decided to get "refreshed" with a dip in the lake and then ran back to their personal hot tub to get warmed up. Envigorating!

I stood by in case I had to call 911 but I wasn't needed.

Here's a photo of our special tree at the Beauview waterfront. The colours are stunning this year.
