Switching it up for the first look at the Bruce trail today…….not quite what I expected to tell the truth. I think I was expecting nicely manicured flat gravel or grit paths ….anyone who has been on the Bruce trail is now holding their splitting sides from laughter …..!!!
What a wonderful resource, not for the faint of heart for sure ( both body and spirit..!!!) For anyone who has not been here…..you literally have to stop to enjoy the view……the path underfoot…is a path…and it is marked along the way…….but flat and manicured it is not. We walked out for an hour and then turned around (seemed sensible having paid for 2 hours parking ). The “walk” involved much clambering up and down rocks and weaving your foot treads through tree roots and rocks all the way………99 percent looking down..which is also interesting.
Looking up involves finding a relatively flat spot, standing still, and not moving your feet as you look around.
Maybe thats just how it is on the Georgian Bluffs portion…I look forward to finding out.
Friday we move the airstream up to Cape Chin where we will be about a half mile from several trail access points.
The other end of the day saw Scott , who has been quite determined to swim in Lake Huron, do just that……
Apparently it was cold….!!!!! That was one of the descriptive terms that were used…!!!!

For sure the trail is much like your description thoughout the Bruce Peninsula…there are flatter sections south of there, more parts that go over minor roads or farmers’ fields, but the sections from Collingwood to Tobermory are my favourites. I imaagine that the lake was not quite 50 degrees Fahrenheit – good on him!
