When a door closes, new adventures await. What adventures will you get up to this weekend? I’m leading a hike for @outdoorswomannl and doing some work for one of my favourite outdoor orgs. Can’t wait for more time outside! #HikeNL #ExploreNLHow many shades of blue can you count? I think I might need to up my colour vocabulary after this hike on the @eastcoasttrail yesterday. There was a new view around each turn and bend, each nook and cranny. #HikeNL #ExploreNLThis is one of my favourite spots on the @eastcoasttrail. Who recognizes it and can tell me where it is and the name of the path? Hiker quiz time!Sometimes when I am out hiking, I find puffins in the most unexpected places...like on the Western Bay Boardwalk. #HikeNL #ExploreNL #BirdsNLThe Turks Gut to Brigus Trail via Bull Cove is a diamond in the rough. Recently reopened by volunteers, the route from Turks Gut to Bull Cove is marked for easy way finding with brightly painted red and yellow arrows. In Bull Cove, kept an eye out for two signs pointing the way to Brigus and follow the mostly grassy track to near the Frog Marsh in Brigus. The walking is relatively easy and the trail will introduce you to countless shades of blue, teal, and green. Be prepared with Topo maps or GPS track as the way finding past Bull Cove is slightly harder but so worth the effort. #HikeNL #ExploreNLThe Bay Roberts Shoreline Heritage Trail is a fabulous hike. It combines a delicious mix of ingredients into a stupendous meal for the body, mind, and soul. Combining gorgeous sea views, colourful rocks, and the sense of walking through and with history and it’s a winner of a hike. With both out and back and loop hiking options, you can explore an appetizer or a three course feast for your senses. The trail is in Bay Roberts and is about an hour from St. John’s. There are multiple entry points to the trail and several different parking areas. Put it on your list for your next hiking adventure. #HikeNL #ExploreNLTA’s Facebook Page

A Study of White and Blue
Howdy, I was signing some paperwork this morning and realized that today is a fine “odometer moment” in that it’s 8-9-10. It’s not everyday that has such fine numeric sequencing and we won’t see another for about thirteen months or … Continue reading
