MUSKOKA EDITION

With a reflection of The Wall caught on its tailgate, this Ford Escape doesn't sport leather Muskoka chairs or cappucino cup holders, but is simply part of the marketing ploy exclusive to Bickley Ford Sales of Huntsville, who apply this emblem to their family of Special Edition trucks to serve the purpose of attracting attention, like it did mine.
[Thanks to Ken Buchanan for providing me with this information.]

WATERSKI SHOW

The waterski crew create a human pyramid as the finale of their show, entertaining the spectators gathered at Clevelands House. Performing their amazing show on various days and locations in Muskoka, the staff from Summer Water Sports demonstrate their skills and techniques with a variety of technical tricks and stunts.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

Happy Independence Day to our southern neighbour and to all the Americans who reside in Muskoka. We remain indebted to some of their ancestors who bought unspoiled wilderness property, and whose foresight and families are playing an important role in protecting the integrity and heritage of Muskoka from risk of further development.

THE OTHER G-8

Local boatbuilder Tom Adams poses beside a replica of the Miss Canada III, a champion racing boat built in 1938. This replica was built in 1987 by Duke Marine Services and is being restored, with plans to be featured in a documentary on its famous driver Harold Wilson, in between racing around the lakes with its current owner.

CANADA DAY

[Photograph pending]
Happy Canada Day! To end the day of festivities at The Rosseau a fireworks display was launched from the water in front of the resort, a spectacular event watched by hundreds of guests around the hotel and over a hundred boats gathered offshore, their navigation lights a colourful display itself and contributing to the night's performance.
