Moose Man, 2011: The Early Morning Express Home

Monday, Aug 1, 2011, The Early Morning Express

Too Bad So Sad,  Everything must come to an end.  This is the shortest day on the campsite of the Moose Man, 2011.  I woke up at 7:30 AM and quickly pack down camp and hop into the car.


At 8: 25 AM, It was time to get into the car and out the gate in a flash.  Driving down Haliburton Lake Road Towards Fort Irwin



By 8:30 AM we were passing throught the village of Fort Irwin and than onto Eagle Lake



Passing through many twists and turns, and Eagle Lake and Sir Sam's Ski hill can be seen in the distance.





Driving along the north side of Eagle Lake.





Approaching the village of Eagle Lake.


Passing Grass lake on the 118.



Approaching the village of Carnarvon and Jct 35.



Now Leaving Carnarvon.





Bracebridge Town Centre, 31 KM.  When I was travelling the streets of Muskoka, I thought Bracebridge had a mall called Bracebridge Town Centre.  This sign is actually stating that Downtown Bracebridge is 3! KM.



Driving over the Black River Bridge on 118.



The Clear Lake General Store.  This is not too far from a cottage on Wood Lake I went to as a child.





By 9:25 AM We finally arrived at Hwy 11.  The Final stretch of this Early Morning Express Home.



Crossing Hwy 11.



After hitting the highway. I spotted this green school bus.



Approaching the Gull Lake Bridge on Hwy 11, southbound.



Crossing The Gull Lake Bridge on Hwy 11, soutbound

By 10:30 AM, I arrived at my front door and the Moose Man Weekend has came to a close.

Why does Early Morning Express Rides home Suck?

Early morning express ride home sucks because I arrive home at a very early hour in the morning.  The earlieset Express Ride home was at 6:30 AM and for a 7:00 AM arrival at home.  The avarage Express ride home was between 7:30 - 8:30 AM.

Early Morning Express Rides home suck if you do not have to be at home right away and you want to spend more time at the event you were at.  It would really suck if I had to leave OM on Sunday morning at 7:30 because the party is still going and the dance floor is rocking.
