Blue Mountain, Ontario




After breakfast we headed over to Blue Mountain. Great views at the top of the little Whistler style village below and Georgian Bay beyond.














There are walking trails and bike rallies that happen all summer on the mountain, and of course in winter it is a thriving ski community.















A view of the village below.......















I had to take this - it is a pic of an "antique" chair lift - the very one I used during my teens, so I guess I am antique too......sigh!














The gang walking along the trail........................












A display of flowers in the bicycle carriers makes a fun statement....................











The little nordic village is quaint and lovely - Mick and Bev come to all kinds of food and wine fests, art shows and community gatherings here during the summer.








A man made lake is the centre focus for restaurants, hotels, just sitting in the sun on a dock, and small paddle boats in the summer.   As you can see, the mighty Blue Mountain is more of a small hill these days....but it sure was a great place to learn to ski!!!










Back at the cottage, neighbours Lyn and John, who also come to PM in the winter, joined us on the deck for a visit.









What fun to see friends in Mexico, Ontario and soon in BC again, when Mick and Bev come to BC to get their RV to drive it home to Collingwood.












We four have such a great time together - fast, forever friends!!









Carl and Alice have other friends in the area as well, so there may be a joint golf game in the summer months....!
