Weber Hamburgers


We always come past this place


It's usually very busy, but this is the first time we stopped there


very short menu, very efficient place


railroad cars for storage and for washroom facilities 


and because of the bridge it serves both sides of the highway


It's not easy to have a thriving busyness in this part of the country
I'm impressed with this one

Looking for wildlife in Algonquin


we know where to look


and the time of day


still not easy to see anything
except that I saw a Cougar at 5.10AM but didn't take a picture
was to busy avoiding getting to close to it


saw fog


and a beaver or a muskrat


not sure what bird this is


sun coming up, pretty


in the evening the bugs scared us off


so we went for a ride


success


not the most beautiful, but we love spotting them
Rien is good at finding them

Fireworks


starting with little stuff



flying some Chinese lanterns


amazing how much fireworks there was


all bolted into place
and it was all wired to go off at the click of a button


the louder and bigger stuff on the wagon


quite a show for not that many people


we loved it



fun to watch



almost 1/2 hour



nature had it's own light show
lots of fireflies
