What a nice day



Day broke without a cloud and the temperature just kept going up the rest of the day. It was about 14C by late afternoon.
Fortunately we had planned an ATV trip today what a conicidence. Five machines, Ed and Faye Barnstaple, Mary and Dave Bullock, Gord Clark, Paul Trudel and meself. Up the north power line across to Halliday Lake and back down the Grassy Lake Rd about 84 Km round trip.
At one spot just before Halliday lake a huge beaver dam had flooded the road, making it just about impossible with the depth of water. Just to make the beaver happy we started lowering his pond about 8 inches by opening up some holes in the dam, this was just enough to get the machines through even though it was well up over the floor boards.
Couple of pics when we stopped for AM break and one later at Halliday Lake for lunch, the dogs even enjoyed the ride.
