On the way over to the<a href=\"http:\/\/new.mykenora.com\/visitors\/html\/modules\/portal_directory\/index.php?ent_id=75\"> Vernon Nature Trails<\/a> to do a little geocaching we spotted this guy, on his riding lawn mower. Nothing too unusual perhaps, but this was the first time I&#8217;ve seen anyone cutting the grass on their <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">island cottage property<\/span>! That&#8217;s right, this guy is on an island doing chores, well perhaps it&#8217;s not too much of a chore, or perhaps this is the maintenance guy not the owner. Either way the owner of this property is not hurting too much. There was a golf course hole with a very nice looking green and a couple of other buildings on the island, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/big_dadoo\/832347446\/\">the main house<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/big_dadoo\/831481939\/in\/photostream\/\">a few other buildings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The geocaching at the Vernon Trails was unsuccessful and we found out back at the cottage that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/seek\/cache_details.aspx?guid=115bd153-8519-43b2-8769-6c1c946190a5\">coordinates were posted incorrectly<\/a>. Had we followed them it would have been several hundred feet off the edge of a cliff.<\/p>\n<p>The ride back was marked with a stop at the DQ, again perhaps the only boat up DQ in the world, what a place we have to enjoy. A cruse through the Kenora harbour and back out <a href=\"http:\/\/new.mykenora.com\/visitors\/html\/modules\/portal_directory\/index.php?ent_id=62\">Devil&#8217;s Gap<\/a> and we&#8217;re on our way home. Lots of fun in the sun topped off with a swim and a little more tanning.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/big_dadoo\/833171926\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm2.static.flickr.com\/1016\/833171926_edd8f97897_m.jpg\" alt=\"Swimming platform\" height=\"75\" width=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><br clear=\"all\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawn mower guy Originally uploaded by Big Dadoo Today Shirley &amp; I spent the afternoon in the boat cruising on LOTW.
