We are on our way to the Burleigh Lock. Our plan is to travel today as far as Bobcaygeon. First we must pass through Hell’s Gate. We didn’t have any problem. Just went slow and kept her between the markers. But just to be on the safe side, Skipper sent me up on the bow to keep a look out for rocks. 
Just before getting to Hell’s Gate we passed this church on a rock island. It is the St. Peters-on-the-Rock Anglican Church. Built in 1914 it still holds services each Sunday during July and August. There’s a dock for cottage boats who attend.
It is beautiful up here. I have probably said it already, but it reminds us very much of northern Minnesota. Here’s a just a few of the cottages we saw today. Not only are the “cottages” incredible, but the gardens, landscaping and stone work look like something out of a magazine. We kept ourselves entertained looking at the many
mansion-cottages. Wow!
One of the very narrow spots we had to pass through.
We passed this house on Stoney Lake. Designed by some fancy smancy architects called GH3. It's all made of glass. The inside walls and everything. Again, I ask why??? We arrived in Bobcaygeon early enough in
the day to walk around and check things out. At the marina they told us Bigleys is THE shoe store. Everybody goes there. So we figured we better go there. Didn’t buy anything and continued on our way. But the store has been family run since 1911 and is known for the immense number of shoes they carry along with clothing and over 12,000 swim suits.
Wouldn’t you know it? Ross and I ran into another Biker Rally! Maybe it’s an omen that we are supposed to get Harleys, but I can’t imagine so. I can barely be trusted to ride my bicycle without wiping out.
