Sunday Run Report (June 1)

  The nice little run.
   With summerish weather finally here, a few of us headed down river.  Stephen W stayed with us till Cambridge Narrows where the news of impending dirt roads scared him off(?).  The rest of us, four red LBCs continued down the 710 hunting for a couple of interesting stops.

   The road is fabulous; winding and undulating along the water then dipping into green valleys.  Surprisingly it's also in decent shape.  We eventually pulled off onto a small dirt road and followed it for a few hundred metres to reach our first stop, Shaw Falls.  Toes were dangled in the water and we took some time to enjoy the scene.  This is one spot we'll be revisiting in the fall when the leaves change.  Continuing on we attempted to find the second spot of interest but where stymied by a seriously rough road.   After a few more minutes we stopped for ice cream at Hatfield Point where a local confirmed that the site was still there.  Maybe next time?
    The journey back to Cambridge Narrows was on the 695 which was a bit disappointing after the 710.  It wasn't nearly as scenic nor in as good a condition.  In the future I would suggest that we stick to the 710, turning around at Hatfield Point.....after ice cream of course.
   In Cambridge Narrows we stopped at the VERY popular Holiday Restaurant for a mid afternoon lunch.
