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.
