Heavy Rain

The last two days have seen some heavy rain.  Causeway hill was the worst hit.  Expect 5 heavy downpours per summer.  This was number ONE.

 

Lost and Found

Contact Lafleurs if this is your paddle boat.

 

Nice road work

Dysart et al has done a great job on the road south of Tusk Trail.  Great grading and applying gravel.  Thanks guys.  Cottagers really appreciate great roads.

 

Fire

This morning a brush fire was spotted from Elephant Lake Road and at first I was contacted because it may have been in our area.  Quick inspection showed it was not here.

The fire was at Leafield, directly across the bay from East Bay.  Three fire stations responded as well as EMS and a helicopter.  The fire burned about 2 acres between a cottage and the lake.  The feeling was an unattended camp fire.

It is very dry in the bush.

Culvert

One culvert on maple hill, installed in 2013, has slowly been lifted by frost heaving.  Vehicular traffic has started to crush the culvert.  The road can survive without this culvert, but it is nice to have during spring run off.  We'll let a year pass before making a decision about removal or replacing.
