As do I and the crew I ride with. We would all much rather go shack to shack all day or make a fire trail side somewhere. I can’t remember the last time I went and wasted prime riding time sitting in a restaurant. I generally pack some sandwiches or something I can heat up at the shacks 

Just cant make myself do a buffet. lol I can leave Owen Sound and head to Orangeville across to Arthur, up through Hanover and be home for lunch anyway. lol I do love me a 4am start. Just me and the trail.

I didn't use it last year. From what I could see it looked fairly normal. They always drain it to a certain level. I know belwood they are not finished that dam either and grca has warned everyone to stay off of it this winter. They be no ice fishing there as well. 

The last time I was in Hornepayne (2020), we went to Cindy’s for lunch. I’m assuming she’s not in business anymore? 

Yes lol sometimes its quite a joy to take in the atmosphere of a crowded shelter hundreds of kms from civilization with a language barrier making things just awkward enough that its oddly amusing and entertaining
