• interesting bus tour

A bus tour by Exeter
senior citizens consisting of
47 members to the north, on
a colour tour left Exeter at If
a.m. on October 4.
We travelled via
Russeldale, Mitchell,
Atwood, Listowel, Harriston,
Mt. Forest and Durham for
coffee break.
Then through Priceville,
Kimberley, until we could
see Nottawasaga Bay,
followed it along to
Collingwood and saw some of
the large lake boats in dry
dock for repairs and pain-
ting. Drove right around
close to them and got a good
look at how they repair the
large boats.
After we left Collingwood
we came into more hills and
rolling land covered with
mostly maple trees, the
leaves being every hue of red
and yellow with quite a few
already on the ground which
made us think of the time of
the year when artists other
than man paint some lovely
colours on hill and dale.
The weather didn't co-
operate for taking pictures
as the sun did not shine all
day but the views of the
bushes of maple trees on
slopes and sides of hills were
beautiful to behold.
We stopped at several
places especially near some
of the ski slopes where land
is rolling. We stopped at
Collingwood for lunch at
McDonalds then went
through the Blue Mountain
pottery. This was a hard
place to get the ladies out of
because so many beautiful
pieces of pottery are made
here. Finally we got moving
again and went by Devils
Glen Park. The driver took
us around the park and
stopped at a place that
sloped down hill a little to
where you could see for
several miles first down hill
then up the far side covered
with maple trees blended in
every hue of the rainbow.
After we left this beautiful
sight we travelled south
through somewhat leveller
land with large field of
potatoes still not harvested
but looked in good shape as
land is loamy. They grow
acres of potatoes around this
district for potato chip
factories.
Down onto highway 95
winding our way westward
and towards homer came
through Arthur then south to
Fergus then on towards
Elora also wending our way
towards Kitchener where the
bus driver parked on a huge
parking lot and everyone
went shopping at
Metropolitan shopping
centre to let everyone
stretch their legs and spend
some of their money.
We had also passed
through Elmira. AtKitchener
it was getting near time to
put on the feed bag so after
retrieved everyone out of the
shopping spree we headed
for the Ponderosa Steak
House at which we have
eaten before on bus trips and
find very good.
Here we took our time and
had a good square meal, as
the most of us had only a
lunch at noon. The bus left
the shopping centre at 7 p.m.
having to circle around
several times to get on the
right track towards home.
Our bus driver was a very
jovial guy and along with our
president and others we all
enjoyed a happy ending to
our trip by singing old songs
and we arrived back in
Exeter in good time - 8:30
p.m. With many thanks I am
sure from everyone aboard
to our capable driver and our
president Mrs. Bullock also
our secretary treasurer Mrs.
Leslie Thompson who both
spent a great deal of time
and work in getting things all
arranged for a splendid day
for senior citizens of Exeter
and to give us something new
to think of during the coming
winter.
