Here comes the last long weekend of the season. Looks like we are getting good weather for most of it.
There will be turkey in the air...I mean the aroma of roasting ones. Might see a wild turkey by the side of the road, or a clutch of them. They have been much more visible this year than in the past, lots of sightings.
Anyone driving through Algonquin Park in the dark tonight, be aware of moose! They can sneak up on a car pretty quickly. In other words, it isn't safe to "book it" through the Park after the sun goes down. In my 24 years here, there have been 3 very late arrivals due to collisions with these grand creatures. These unfortunate incidents all happened on the stretch of hwy 60 inside Park boundaries. That being said, moose are not restricted to the park, so collisions are possible on all local roads.
Also, anyone on highway 60, keep in mind that there have been lots of speedtraps, especially on the long weekends, this season.
Thanks to everyone who has been part of the experience here in 2013, tourists, volunteers, and regular clients. I will be taking bookings for the next while, weather permitting, but soon it will be time to plan and book your 2014 getaways.
