25/05: Explore the Bruce Part III
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
The forecast for Tobermory is a little cool but we decided it was a perfect day for driving around in the sports cars.
I decided that it was too hard on Zaph for him to share the passenger area with me in the Miata so we arranged a play date for him with Anne and Victor. Ed and Zaph drove the Honda to Anne and Victor's house.
Not sure how Zaph managed to get himself into this position. We removed the cooler from the back seat area and pulled the two front seats forward and helped Zaph up. He walked out of the car and acted as if it was a normal trip in the car.
We left the Honda at Anne and Victor's and drove the Miata up to Rob and Ellen's cottage. There were only three stops left on the Explore the Bruce so we thought it was going to be an easy day. Next year someone other than Rob is going to read the instructions. Two of the stops involved hikes --- one of them estimated at an hour and a half. Not such as easy day after all.
First stop was Skinners Bluff on the Bruce Trail.
The trilliums on the Bruce Trail were amazing. Not sure if they really are extra good this or if it's because I haven't been in the woods at the right time in other years.
Rob's new friend --- Sammy Snake, a garter snake, supposedly harmless.
Big step over a crevasse to get the viewing spot.
The view.
Second stop was the Potholes on the Bruce Trail near Lions head.
This large pothole had a side hole so you could get inside it and look up.
Looking down at the boys in the pothole.
The trail got a little rocky after the potholes.
Worth the hike for this view.
Last stop was in Tobermory. Ellen didn't get the memo about wearing Explore the Bruce T-shirts so she got to take the photo. Explore the Bruce is done for another year.
