Eganville Ontario

it is like going home even though I have never lived there. Steve grew up in Eganville and we visit or make pilgrimages several times a year. We had a summer place called "the Ranch" once on Snake River Line that was about a 15 minute drive from here. An of course Steve's parents had a house for many years in Cobden , a village located at Muskrat Lake/Highway 17 . Muskrat Lake has a monster story.We stopped for gas at Antrim/Arnprior on the way home. Steve treated us to some butter tarts from thefamous  Truckstop Bakery .
