FROM HERE TO THERE...

I stayed in Pembroke and headed back to the office on Friday morning. Can you tell what time of year it is.

The weather for the first couple of hours was good, these pictures were taken in Eganville, Ontario.

There was still a lot of fall colours on the trees.

I think this was the Madawaska River.

Mazinaw Lake near Bon Echo Provincial Park.

I have put a lot of kilometers on this Subaru legacy.

Down near Northbrook I was in a snowstorm for a few kilometres and then coming along Highway 7 it was mostly rain. These are a couple of pictures taken down near the 115/401 junction.

Next up is London and Peterborough.

I was in Chalk River, Ontario on Thursday auditing our site which is located on the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited property. There will be no pictures of the site since cameras are not allowed onto the property. It is quite the process to get in, they do a quick search of your vehicle, they even have the mirror to look under the vehicle. Then they issue you a radiation dosimeter which is worn on the front of your body and it measures ones actual exposure to radiation. They also hand you a pamphlet which indicates what to do when you hear the different alarms (i.e. run like heck to get out).

One of the guys I was there with does moose calls, security had told us there were a number of sightings on the road and one collision recently between car and moose, when he got to the site he started making female sounds. It wasn't that long after that there was 3-4 year old bull moose standing near the building. Not sure if it was actually his call that brought the moose in or coincidence, but nevertheless it was cool to see.
