Fall Drive | Tiny, Ontario

Anyone who knows me knows that I like driving. I love having a weekend off with no commitments so I can take off somewhere; usually I pick a random point on the map and just drive there to explore. Yesterday I chose Awenda Provincial Park. I've been there before, but it was years ago and my last fond memory there was swimming in a thunderstorm in the biggest waves. So, while everyone else was busy putting the finishing touches on their Halloween costume, apparently I thought it would be a great idea to take this two hour (one way) road trip without even having a costume planned out. Needless to say, it was lacking. And by lacking I mean non-existent. I think I made the right decision.

Lately, I also really enjoy listening to country music when I'm driving. I'm not sure why, because I never listen to it any other time really, but put me in a car on a long drive, and I'm searching out the country music stations. Here is my current country music playlist so far:

Break Up In A Small Town | Sam Hunt

My Church | Maren Morris

Take Me Home, Country Roads | John Denver

Different for Girls | Dierks Bentley (feat. Elle King)

Bartender | Lady Antebellum

80s Mercedes | Maren Morris

War Paint | Madeline Merlo

I Hope You Dance | Lee Ann Womack

Travelin' Soldier | Dixie Chicks

I'm An Open Road | Paul Brandt (feat. Jess Moskaluke)

Vice | Miranda Lambert

Elevator | Jess Moskaluke

Girl Crush | Little Big Town

Forever Country | Artists of Then, Now & Forever

I'll Be the Moon | Dierks Bentley (feat. Maren Morris)

Blue Ain't Your Color | Keith Urban

Starboy | The Weeknd (feat. Daft Punk) ...It's on every one of my lists right now

There's a trail by the side of the road that crosses this foot bridge and goes on for 22 km.

Entering Awenda Provincial Park.

Kettle's Lake.

This reminded me of a Group of Seven painting.

Sawlog Bay.
Give me a beach, even on the coldest day and especially an empty one.

One day I'll drive down Route 66 and sleep in the back of my hatchback (or better yet, a VW bus).

Next week I want to drive to the Scenic Caves in Collingwood, where they have the longest suspension bridge in Southern Ontario at 420 feet. This will have to do until I visit the Capilano Suspension Bridge in BC.
