Motorcycle Cruising the Grand River Scenic Parkway in Southern Ontario [Honda CBR250R]
In this video I share some of the highlights of my early morning cruise on the Grand River Scenic Parkway.
The trip started near the beginning of the Scenic Parkway just outside of Brantford. The trip ended at the big mud cat statue in Dunnville.
Along the way I passed through the small towns of Cayuga and Caledonia.
Of course the Grand River, quiet highway, and scenic views are the best part of riding the Grand River Scenic Parkway in Southern Ontario.

Winter Boardwalk The Grand River
The Grand River is a large river in southwestern Ontario, Canada. From its source near Wareham, Ontario, it flows south through Grand Valley, Fergus, Elora, Waterloo, Kitchener, Cambridge, Paris, Brantford, Caledonia, and Cayuga before emptying into the north shore of Lake Erie south of Dunnville at Port Maitland. One of the scenic and spectacular features of the river is the falls and gorge at Elora.
The Grand River is the largest river entirely within southern Ontario's boundaries. The river owes its size to the unusual fact that it has its source relatively close to the base of the Bruce Peninsula, yet flows southwards to Lake Erie, rather than to central Lake Huron or Georgian Bay (most southern Ontario rivers flow into the nearest Great Lake, which is why most of them are small), thus giving it more distance to take in more water from tributaries.
The river's rural character, ease of access and lack of portages make it a desirable canoeing location, especially the stretch between West Montrose and Paris. A number of conservation areas exist in the area of the river, managed by the Grand River Conservation Authority.
The Grand Valley Trail stretches 275 km along the river's valley between the town of Dundalk and Lake Erie.
The Mohawk name for the Grand River, O:se Kenhionhata:tie means Willow River. The river was named Grande-Rivière by the French during the 18th century. It was later renamed Ouse River by John Graves Simcoe for the River Great Ouse near his childhood home in Lincolnshire. The anglicized form of the French name has remained in common use.
Taquanyah Nature Centre Springtime Hike, Cayuga Canada
Located in southern Ontario's Carolinian forest, Taquanyah Conservation Area includes the rehabilitated reservoir of coldwater Mill Creek that was dewatered in 2004. Visiting on the vernal equinox reveals spring's renewal among its coniferous plantation, prairie grassland and hardwood forest habitats. The musical accompaniment includes 'In Return' by Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel, and 'Begin Sweet World' composed by Bill Douglas and performed by Richard Stoltzman. The foliage and landscape images are bookended with philosophical quotes by James Broughton and Louisa May Alcott.

CN Serves the North: A Day in the Life of CN L540
ISHPEMING, MICHIGAN - 03 March, 2018
In Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, the Canadian National serves as the dominant railroad carrier, providing the area with service on a system of modest mainlines and numerous branches leftover from such pedigrees as the Soo Line, Chicago Northwestern, Wisconsin Central and the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic.
As has always been the case in the region, forestry and mining are the two core industries, and in this episode, we’ll see that the L540 is no exception. In this day-in-the-life documentary, we’ll follow an entire day’s work as it was in March of 2018, between Champion, Partridge, and all the sights in between.
Adding to the fun is the unique addition of the NS 1065 as foreign power, otherwise known as the NS Savannah and Atlanta Heritage Unit. Far removed from its namesake road, it joins a BNSF GE-Evolution Series unit trundling around the light branchline rails of Michigan’s Marquette Iron Range.

Gordon Joseph Cummings
Interview with Gordon Joseph Cummings.
From the Cornell Memorial Statement:
Gordon Joseph Cummings was born in King Ferry, Cayuga County, New York, on April 30, 1919, the son of Peter and Ida Cummings. During Gordon's formative years, when life in the 1930s of the Great Depression was so difficult and opportunities were limited, Peter Cummings alternated jobs between farming and work in Ithaca; in these alternations, young Gordon attended schools in both locations. These early years in a small upstate community laid the groundwork for a theme that would run through Gordon's entire life, namely, a love for rural life and the small communities in the state.
The Cummings were Irish and Roman Catholic, and as such exposed to the underside of upstate New York in the 1920s and 1930s. Gordon told of the Ku Klux Klan dumping nails in the road in front of their farm. However, typical of Gordon, he told this straightforwardly, without bitterness, even with a twinkle in his eye.
Gordon graduated from King Ferry High School and immediately enrolled at Cornell University. His university education was interrupted by World War II, during which he was stationed in Okinawa and Japan. He was in Nagasaki, Japan just five days after the atomic bomb destroyed that city. As an agent of the Counter Intelligence Corps, he had close contact with the Japanese people and came to appreciate many aspects of the Japanese and other Southeast Asian cultures. After the war, he returned to Cornell to complete a Bachelor of Science degree in 1948, a Master of Science degree in 1950, and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1954. Immediately after completing his Ph.D. degree, he joined the Department of Rural Sociology in the College of Agriculture as an Assistant Professor with a predominant responsibility in Extension. The core subject of the more than 50 reports, articles, and papers he would write, dealt with Leadership in Rural Life, How to Identify Policies and Organization to Improve Community Life, and, near the end of his career, The Evaluation and Improvement of Health Care in Rural Areas. One of the many projects in which he participated and of which he was most proud was Operation Advance. This work on public policy and public decision-making was joined by Professors Clifford R. Harrington and Edward A. Lutz, and together they prepared discussion guides on topics such as Community Growth and Development, Education and the Future, Resources - Land, Water and People, The Changing Environment for Living, Work and Play, and Managing Community Growth. Related to these topics, among the courses he taught were those titled Small Towns, Sociology of Leadership, and Organization of Rural Health Care.
His projects were largely implemented through the auspices of the Cornell Cooperative Extension Service. He also served as Department Extension Leader for many years and, along with Professor Robert Polson, on the New York State Citizens Council Field Service Committee. In 1975, he spent his sabbatic leave with the New York State Health Department in Albany, helping to organize Comprehensive Health Planning and community mammogram centers for breast cancer screening. He also served as Chair of the Planning Committee of the Governor's Health Advisory Council.
Professionally, he was a member of the Rural Sociological Society, the Adult Education Association, and the Community Development Society .
His passion for the local community extended into his retirement years. He became Historian for the town of Genoa, and the village of King Ferry in Cayuga County, and was the first President of the Board of Directors of the Genoa Historical Association. Gordon was President of the Community Development Federation and on the Board of Directors of Blue Cross of Central New York.
After a long marriage he was predeceased by his wife, Jane Powers Cummings, and is survived by son Thomas (Beverly Ludke) of Pittsford, New York; son Gregory of Washington, D.C.; son Daniel (Danielle) of Syracuse, New York; daughter Molly (David Rose) of Rochester, New York; and four grandchildren. At his funeral Mass in King Ferry, they observed that the heart of his life concerned his family; their accounts of Life with Pop, were filled with love and affection, and, most of all, with respect. They also recognized that Gordon Cummings loved Cornell as an institution in its variety of activities, and especially its Cooperative Extension program in playing out its role as part of a Land-Grant University, as well as the various communities of people with whom he worked so closely.
