The reason why I haven’t posted in so long is largely related to having no well-functioning camera. Then summer ended with the fall of the PT Cruiser and three weeks of car shopping.
This is an amalgamation of bits of things we did, but it doesn’t capture what stands out. When I think of how time flew by, I think of going for a quick swim every afternoon and spending a lot of time watering the garden.
Somewhere between Quarry Island and the free public launch in Midland you can follow the gulls and terns to rocks poking out of the waves that maybe make cozy overnight nap spots for birds. I don’t know. What do water birds do at night?
Three days at a cabin on Frobel Lake with my friend Diane, and my first time in Northern Ontario!
Despite grey skies Saturday morning, we decided to do another day hike from our new guidebook. Eric picked the Ross McLean Loop, which was added to the Bruce Trail in 2007.
We had to park in front of someone’s farm and pick up the trail from a path around their barn. From the field, the trail then gets into woods, then goes through a small section of mossy rocks and crevices, then back to woods, then to a creek with an underground waterfall, then past a lake which becomes marshy before the trail veers back into woodland. The hike took about an hour and a half and, thanks to all the rain the last few days, we all looked like mud monsters at the end of it. By the time we were done, the sun had come out.
