Tow Truck to the Max

After a month or so making a large quantity of sawdust in the garage, Dave has cobbled together a push-a-long/ride-on tow truck for Max. It is based loosly on a picture Liz found on the internet.

It is awating a test drive but no suitably qualified (size wise) drivers available at the moment.

Up Deep Creek (With a paddle)

Dave and Denise spent a very pleasant weekend camping at Deep Creek; (Just north of Eddystone Point) on the East coast. The weather was perfect for exploring the many miles of beautiful white beaches and headlands of the Bay of Fires and kayaking up the creek.
