Dreaming of summer bumbles
On July 27, we unloaded at Pembroke Hall (13 ATVs with 23 people) and bumbled to Nackawic for lunch at the Waterfront Pub and Eatery. The weather was warm and sunny as we bumbled through Car Siding, Millville, and then onto Nackawic. We stopped along the way to stretch our legs. The laughing and storytelling told it all. Everyone was enjoying themselves.
We arrived at the pub hungry. When we arrived, all I can say is WOW – what a reception we got! Our tables were all set up with place settings and even glasses of water, and the ladies and gentlemen were ready to serve us. I called the day before to make reservations and then again about half an hour before we arrived to give them a heads-up. The food was outstanding. The laughter and storytelling continued, and the staff were right there, joining in with us.
Our bellies were full, but we could not leave Nackawic without taking everyone across the bridge to Yum Yums, where the scoops are as big as the axe! Eating our ice cream and watching the boats travelling up and down the river was relaxing.
As the saying goes, “All good things come to an end.” It was time to climb back into the buggies and head back to Pembroke. We bid farewell to Gary and thanked him for joining us, and we bumbled back through the town to connect with the trail. What a wonderful day! Thank you to the people of Nackawic for your hospitality and for allowing us access to your downtown. Until next time, happy trails!
