The Trip Home

After that little break (previous post) for Thanksgiving photos, I return to our recent country holiday — specifically the trip home.

Although we were bound to take the backroads, the trip home from the cottage was still much quicker than the trip there. But there were still some stops and detours.

Our first stop was also a detour as we went a bit out of our way to visit The Old Hastings Gallery in Ormsby: about 20 minutes from the cottage.

After a half hour or so, we retraced the last 10 minutes or so and turned toward Bancroft from Cow Hill on Lower Faraday Road. This road is quite delightful in autumn although we avoid it in winter. I made a few quick stops to snap a few photos.

we later made an unscheduled stop on the Matawatchan Road near Camel Chute. We passed small lakes on the Madawaska River. The foliage was nice and the water was so calm that we couldn't pass the scene by.

That's about it although we did see much more autumn colour on the route. We also made a quick stop in Burnstown, but we didn't find what we wanted in the store there, so we soon pushed on since time was getting on, and we had visited Burnstown several times in the past.

I didn't really time this trip, but it was more like 4.5 hours as opposed to the 7.5 hours of our trip to the cottage. Both trips were nice, however, and I would do something like them again — probably not the 7.5 hour trip, because I saw what I wanted to see and don't really need to do it again.
