That's a nice shot Mike.

Thanks to everyone for coming out. Had a blast today. Literally. That blast of cold air we had today waiting at the OnRoute was a bit much for me.

Turned out to be a beautiful day today, albeit a bit chilly with the wind. I hope everyone enjoyed the route to Bala (except for that approx. 1km of gravel road works that wasn't there a month ago). Was too bad Annie's and Don's were just packed with people today. Glad we decided not to wait around and headed to the Boston Pizza in Gravenhurst.

Randy to the left of me at the OnRoute.


Gerry to the right of me.


The cars.


The people.


6 cars cruising to Bala to meet up with Dodosmike (Mike) and Black 03 Z06 (Murray)


Here we had to stop at a light as the roadworks had closed the street to one lane. Very long light.


Thought this was a nice spot against the rocks for a pic.


Don's Bakery and Annie's Cafe were packed so we decided to drive into Gravenhurst to Boston Pizza and the Gravenhurst Bakery instead. Leaving Don and Annie's.


Dodosmike in his '78 leading the way.


There was a Mazda Miata convention in the parking lot. Anyone have any pics?






And of course, the Corvettes.


Me taking a picture of Murray taking a picture of the cars.




What to get?


Looks like he fell asleep.


Lunch is served.






Standing on the dock of the bay, err, lake. From left to right.
Gerry, Margaret, Paula, Alan, Randy, Murray, Mike, Bruce and Joe.


I stitched together about 7 images to create this panorama from the dock at Boston Pizza. If you were to zoom in and scan along the shoreline, you'd be hard pressed to see where the images join. I should have tried for the 360degree.

Arrived in Bala a bit early. Murray and I killed some time until the others arrived




























Drove homewards via port Sydney and then through Huntsville. I'd recommend that road, Muskoka Rd #10 for the cruise to Huntsville on October 17th.

Arrived home safe and sound around 5pm. The "boss" had dinner started and an eclair for dessert.

Great meeting everybody!

I hope my dirty ole' carbed POS didn't stink or hold anybody up. The old girl help up well. No parts flew off keeping up with Randy anyway

Mike great to meet you. If we had known you had those eclairs you may not have got out of Gravenhurst in one piece.

Your car looked great and seemed to run well.
