22/05: Explore the Bruce 2015 Edition - Day 2

Posted by: The Agnew Family
Rob and Ed have both been working hard on projects at home and needed a day off, so we decided to visit more stops on Explore the Bruce. It was a little cool today, in fact so cool that we decided to leave the sports cars at home and take Rob's Rav. In retrospect it was a good thing that we left the sports cars at home as several of the stops required us to drive down freshly graded gravel roads. Both Rob and Ed would have been wincing every time a stone hit one of the sports cars.
One of the stops was the beach at Red Bay. It's a very tranquil spot.
Some of us couldn't resist the playground equipment.
An other stop included an hour hike along the Bruce Trail.
The hikers ready to go --- notice Ed's down vest, Rob's down vest and gloves and Ellen's headband. I think it was around 7 C when we left on the hike. When we saw all of the Poison Ivy warning signs, we were happy that it was cool and we had on long pants and jackets.
The end of the trail at Jackson Cove Lookout.
The air currents must have been good today as we saw a number of vultures rising from the trees and floating along the cliff edge.
My first group selfie with our new cell phone. I know I'm way behind the times.
On the drive to the trail head we noticed a few stuffed animals in the trees. On the way out we stopped to have a look at them. I think there were over 50 stuffed animals posed in the trees.
Another stop was the picture frame at Lion's Head. Lion's Head is one of our favourite places for a stop as we always enjoy lunch at the Lion's Head Inn. Today was the first time we didn't eat on the patio, but the food was just as good inside.
The harbor at Tobermory. Not a lot of boats or people but then it's still early in the season.
The majority of this building is built using wine bottles.
One of the Explore the Bruce stops was at an adventure park. This is part of the high rope course --- don't think I would enjoy doing this course. Now the low rope course is something I could do. It looks a lot like the high rope course but is only a foot or so off the ground. More my speed.
