2006-03-12 Jimmys and Bowater

What a day! Thirteen degrees on March 12 is a very rare day around here
I was glad I could take advantage of it.
Rod and I headed out at 10:00 after 2 Large DD's and hit the trails at Jimmy's Round Top.
Did I say hit the trail? On the bottom of some puddles there was ice, very slippery ice.
I wish I had left some ice screws in my tires. I took a small tumble going at a walking pace
and my bark buster snapped in two. I wonder where the weak spot is in this design?
A little bit of JB Weld and we were on our way again. WE came out on the 333 and
decided Rod decided he'd show me his new house. Very nice place and a VERY nice
neighbor he has.
We then saw this skeleton of an old fishing schooner, it was really neat to see how it
went together. There isn't much to it really, but a lot of skill for sure.
We ended up on the Rails to Trails for a short stint and wandered around Bowater for an
hour or so. Most of the trails there are still snow covered so a few weeks more and they
should be good. We took a trail that ended up at Lewis Lake Provincial Park, thank
goodness we weren't riding ATV's.
We ended up at the rubber duck for a quick wash and were home by 3:30.
What a day indeed.

Till next trail...
