What a great evening the weather was perfect! What a way to end the season for the Thursday night "CRUZ" here in Uxbridge.

This past Thursday was the last one of the season, a season that started back in mid May, 18 in all this season. The turnout for the season finale was 145 vehicles registered through the main gate and several more that entered through a secondary gate or arrived early, in … (8 comments)

highways and biways: Summers Evening
- 09/02/08 12:32 AM
With picture perfect weather we have just had one of the best weekends on record for the summer.
All is quite now, as the sun very slowly settles and softly dips behind the hills, as we enjoy one last sunset sitting on the beach in Muskoka.

The Labour Day week end is the signal that summer is drawing to a close. It … (24 comments)
