Three storms in one week

Well, the roads are taking a pounding from heavy rains, three in the past week and each one seems to be harder on the road.  We'll try to keep the road fairly passable, but some caution is needed.

Storm

     Yesterday, Tuesday Aug. 12, around 3:30 pm the cottage area was hit with a hail shower, followed by 45 minutes of heavy rain.  All the cottages that floated into the lake have been recovered and are jammed into the boat launch area on the causeway.

     A cottager forward this photo of the hail pellets.  Thanks

   

Plein Air Arts Festival

If you are in the area, Sept. 10-13, you might want to participate or to view this outdoor painting activity, which centres around Highlands East.

Grading from top Maple Hill

The road has been graded after the big rainfall on the weekend. Grading from the top of maple hill to the end of the annex on Clarke Road and down the causeway hill to the causeway.

The stone crush with fines on the causeway hill is quite deep and will require some traffic and rain to pack it down.

Bear alert

Small bear on the island.  It was peeking into a cottage through a window yesterday.  No sign of a mother bear around.  Watch you dogs.
