Day 13 - Mud Bath

 Last week was ice.  This week was mud.


However it wasn't all mud.  Parts of the trail were actually flat and paved!  And there were more beautiful water falls.  Might be the last ones we see with water and ice for a while.



We even got to see an art exhibit.


We actually finished the hike in 2 1/2 hours.  Overall, another great day.

Woohoo, I am so excited to start hiking the Bruce Trail with my hubby! I feel like I have been eating and drinking myself to an early death so I am ready to change!!!!! I have about 40 pounds to lose- at least! We will start off slowly, but I feel this challenge will definitely help me get on the road to wellness again. Love Vicky

Days 26-31 Kelso to Limehouse

So I bet you thought we had given up.  Actually, we have been on 5 hikes since the last posting.  We just thought we would start combining some into a single post so people don't get bored.  In early December we did a hike in Kelso before they opened Glen Eden ski club.  They have some great mountain bike trails that run through the forest at the top of the escarpment and then down the ski hills.  Great escarpment views!

Days 32-36 Limehouse to Escarpment Side Road

Five more weeks and five more hikes.  We've had beautiful sunny days, below freezing which is perfect for snow instead of slush.  Lynne, Scott, Stephanie, and Frank joined us for the section through Terra Cotta conservation area.  It was a great hike, and we even got to go out to the Copper Kettle Pub in Georgetown for dinner afterwards.  For some it was the first time in a pub for a couple of years.  All in all a terrific day. The next week Brian and I continued north through Forks of the Credit provincial park near Caledon Ski club.  This was beautiful, but a very challenging hike.  14km and 20,000 steps according to FitBit.  It would have been a lot easier to go down the mountain on skis.  This section was treacherous.
