How can you not pause along the trail to soak up such beauty?Sometimes life and adventures present you with more interesting bridges than others. We appreciated keeping our feet dry but it was dicey there for a bit.We had a marvellous “pocket” adventure in St. Mary’s, Gaskers, and St. Vinsent. We biked, hiked, and biked some more. So good to be outside for the better part of two days. Lots of marvellous views!Picked enough bakeapples to make a small batch of jam. Adventures along barrens has benefits!Today’s hike was super ruff as we introduced this cutie to the world of hiking. He’s not ours (but isn’t he just the cutest thing). He was a champion for the first few km then we took turns carrying him as he took a rest. Such fun to watch every hiker we met melt into puppy cuteness as we passed.One of those hike days where it made sense to look down as much as out. The forest floor was a cacophony of greens and purples.TA’s Facebook Page
