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.

Day 19 and 20 - Dundas to No 8 SideRoad via Mount Nemo

OK, maybe 100 hiking posts is a bit excessive.  I think we'll start combining some of them.  This post covers two walks.  The first was from Dundas and Brant to No 1 Sideroad near Walkers Line.  It is amazing there is so much nature so close to Burlington. This was followed one week later by a beautiful hike through Mount Nemo Conservation Area.  Gorgeous views. and then through Cedar Springs.  Lucky we didn't run into the killer free range chickens!

Days 46 - 59 Thirteen Hikes in Eight Months, Including our 40th Anniversary

Image
Well the pace has picked up a bit since my last post, but we're going to have to do more than 1-2 hikes a month if we ever want to finish this thing.  Today is our 40th anniversary, and we went to a great bed and breakfast in Stayner and did 2 more hikes up by Collingwood.  A bit muddy, but terrific views of Georgean Bay! However, I must admit that the best part was the breakfast at the Inn! Our hardest hike was the Salkantay Pass in Peru back in November.  After that we needed some recovery time before getting back to the Bruce Trail.   We actually enjoy hiking the Bruce in the winter, although it is much harder in snow shoes! We have had lots of visitors to the cottage this summer, so not a lot of time for hikes.  But now that Brian is retired we are hoping to pick up the pace.

Day One!!!

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
