Here is Donna on our first overnight trip to Collingwood. This was taken on the shore of Georgian Bay in the summer of 2007. We stayed at the Mountain Springs Lodge on a free pass from complaining about our accommodations during our annual winter ski trip. This complain and get a free pass routine has almost become an annual event now, since also having done it twice at Blue Mountain. But at over $150 a night you expect a certain level of accommodations and when it is not delivered, you would have to be make your point. It pays off, believe me!

We had a nice ride all the way up, with stops in Guelph for the Quiznos picnic on the Speed River, and then a really weird experience around Shelbourne at a picnic area we were having a snack and slowly came to the realization that the area was a gay pick up spot .... yeeech! Thank God Donna was with me, studly looking dude like me could of been scary :)

Collingwood has a great set of trails for biking and hiking around the waterfront that are hard to beat, very scenic. And for the real daredevils they now have mountain biking down Blue Mountain, too fast for this old man!
