Tree tunnel. Part of our time was sniffing out a trail that led us eventually down to a pond. Loved the look of this tree tunnel.Out under the open sky. It makes my heart sing. Today’s adventure was ski exploring the Rainbow Gullies.We’re two for two for sunsets. I’m liking this trend. Especially hiking to high places to watch the sunset. It’s working for me.Today we ended our adventurous day with a @rootsrantsroars winter #MyFoodHike from @chinchedmeats. We had a super-east contactless pick-up and we were off to find a picnic with a view. We decided to hike up to the Princes Ridge over looking Conception Bay and Bell Island. The WSW wind was brisk on our faces so we found a sweet spot tucked in the woods to enjoy our picnic treats. We unwrapped a selection of Chinced meats and condiments and dug in. We braved the wind to take in the sunset and then hiked back down. Returning home, we had picnic 2.0 paired with @bannermanbrewingco Drive True and Georgetown Bakery bread. A fine celebration of yummy foods, good views, and some fine memories all packaged up in a backpack. Winter #MyFoodHike packs are available for tomorrow and next Thursday through Sunday. Get ‘em while their cold!Sending some weekend love your way. How will your spend this precious time? Looking forward to some outdoor trail action today and tomorrow...the only question remains...hike, bike, ski, snowshoe or e) all of the above? Let me know what you’re at-webcam compare notes.Where will your path lead you this weekend? What trails will you follow? Which vistas will invite you? Where will you wander to wonder? Adventures await...TA’s Facebook Page
