Doe--a deer--a female deer!!! A report on the "Evandale and Beyond" run

Well, actually two deer tried to ruin a perfect day by deciding to run, one behind the other, across the road in the dark between me and a car ahead of me on the west end of the Ring Road just a little before 9:00 p.m. Dark! The first deer timed it perfectly--the second obviously wanted to be the hood ornament on Carolyn's TR6. The screech of all four Vredestein tires caused her to glance my way in bewilderment. I can claim, without any stretch, that it is not possible to come any closer to hitting a deer than we did tonight. I'll check tomorrow to see if there are any hairs near the front right fender.

Other than that, the day was perfect. Posting our intentions by e-mail to travel and eat brought out nine club cars. The most remarkable participant was Alex who lives in Nackawic, who was enjoying a leisurely Sunday morning in his pajamas when he thought he would check his e-mail. He went from pajamas at noon, to Fredericton by 1:00 p.m., which leads me to suggest: Alex, those posted speed limits are kilometres/hour, not miles/hour!!

Thanks to Jim B. for his admirable leadership. We drove some mighty nice roads with spectacular vistas that only NB could claim. The Evandale Resort was too full to accommodate us, so we travelled on to the "Up to Par" restaurant in Midland.

Oh yes, and we ate well indeed.
