Sandra: Where do you want to go?
Gordon: I don't know, I thought we might just follow the Tay River.
Sandra: O-Tay! (Humour)
The sun came out here around noon so we headed west. Unfortunately the sun didn't follow us but we did follow the Tay River. We followed it backwards from where it empties into the Lower Rideau Lake to it's inception at Bob's Lake near Bolingbroke. So, we traveled a lot of back roads today and the car looks like it's been mud wrestling!
