Excellent location for this type of event.
The Couples Resort is in Whitney, ON but I think that's on the other side of the Algonquin Park. I would be interested in attending this, just to get the "1st Annual" One Thumb motif tattoo.

Cool, getto the end of the line,get your OneThumb Tattoo's

hi, it's MEEEEE
Got home 3:30 pm, Roads were mostly wet, one spot we had a moderate rain fall for 30 min. or so. Great scenery on the way home, north of TO the roads were dry, QEW was backed up at Bronte rd. all the way to 403 exit going up the Red Hill that's where I ran into ran and fog.
Many Thanks to the Crew up in Brancroft, Laurie and Bear you did a fantastic job with Saturday's evening meal, what a way to top off the day.. The trip through Algonquin waswell worth theRide to Acton Bancroft.
Thanks also to Wayne & Heather of Wayne's WorldPolaris for thedoor prizes.

Rule # One, Don't leave camera un attended

Laurie, I don't care how you do it, we'll need more food, This riding group has an Eating Disorder.

No wonder we didn't see any OPP on the roads, they are all on the water.
