Here is Donna at Furnace Falls on out Rd 507 run.

In the fall of 2007, Donna and I went on a trip up to Orillia. Donna has good luck at the casinos, and it gave us a good excuse to try some different and new roads. There used to be a site with all the latest rallies and poker runs listed on them. I went on and it listed a poker run around the Orillia area, with special mention of Rd 507. This runs from Gooderham to Buckhorn and I can honestly say it was UNREAL, you twist through wonderful country of rock outcrops, pine trees, rivers and ponds with barely a straight line for the whole run. Tons of other bikes and it wasn't until I had returned home that I found out this is a very popular well known road. It was bike utopia!


Of course, we had to have a couple of Weber's burgers while up there. That is almost a landmark in the area. On weekends the line ups are quite long, it is so popular that the owner built a pedestrian bridge across the 4 lanes of Hwy. 11, that couldn't of been cheap! In the back they have a picnic area with old Pullman cars for seating and picnic tables etc. I noticed that lately some grocery stores have started to sell frozen Weber burgers. They have a special steaming method in the preparation of the meat... I will admit that they do taste quite good, but they ain't no Licks!
