A nice little hike on a sunny windy day

Nice to see a sea of green again

 

Yesterday we had a nice woodsy hike on some trails in the Hullett Marsh, about 1/2 hr drive away from home. It was such a nice change to walk on the trails in there instead of the town roads (although we do appreciate having those too!). 


An odd little cabin, not for syrup


Would these rocks be called Eccentrics?

Strange noises from the ponds, frogs are likely mating now.

 
Cathie almost stepped on this little fellow, scaring him

A tree-scaling bunny? Strange woods!

There's a strange-looking guy trapped in this tree



On a family note, our second-oldest grandson is graduating from high school this year, and has got his acceptance to his first choice for university, University of Waterloo nanotech engineering. Congratulations Sawyer!

And of course congratulations to his older brother Gavin too, entering his 8 month work term for his co-op program at University of Guelph!

  1. By golly that's a familiar looking trail alright. If you haven't already picked up a Hullett-Marsh guide just look in the yellow metal boxes for them. In that guide you will find other interesting trails in the Marsh. And there are two old iron road bridges in the Marsh as well.

    1. Thanks for the tip again Al, it was a really nice walk and we hope to do more. There was one car in the parking lot, but we went on the trail anyway. :))

  2. Hi, What was that tree scaling bunny - looked like a sloth to me but too far north for that. Congrats to Sawyer and Gavin, I hope they drive to some good hiking areas.

    1. It was a piece of old tire, but with a little imagination it looked like something else.
