Camping on Manitoulin Island

Ross McLean Loop

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.

Spring recap

Long time no post… Spring is really flying by. The frozen pipes throughout town for all of March seems so far past, as does the head cold that wiped most of April off the calendar. Here’s a brief summary of how winter ended:

Playing tour guide

Our buddy Mike visited for a week and in addition to trying out our charcoal grill we also went sightseeing and exploring all around the area.

Inglis Falls

Mom and Auntie Helen came to see the house. We visited Harrison Park yesterday in the sun and Inglis Falls today in the rain. Just before it snowed. Now that I think of it, every time mom visits it snows… hm.
