Our Chapter gathered at the Rocky Mountain House Restaurant, Renfrew for breakfast at 9:00 AM, 18 July 2010. After breakfast, the 11 bikes with 15 riders departed for the Bonnechere Caves near Douglas. We entered the caves to become "Spluners" with a very entertaining and informative guide. It was interesting to hear the discovery and history of the caves along with the fossils found in the area. Upon leaving the caves we travelled along part of the Opeongo Trail and stopped in Rockingham for a view of St. Leonard's Church and a group photo. The church was built in 1864 and served as a Church of English parrish until 1941. Next we travelled to the village of Wilno, settled by the early Polish settlers. A traditional Polish buffet was available for our mid day meal. We made our way back to Renfrew where the group spit to head to there respective home. It was an enjoyable and well organized ride. Thanks to David Bowles for planning and organizing the day.
