Cathy and Denise, sisters from Queenston, were hiking the Bruce Trail one piece at a time. They would get away for two or three days at a time and stay at local bed and breakfasts. They knew they were in for a long term project. I knew they were in for two kilometers of slippery muddy uphill climbing at Devil’s Glen Ski Hill. I wished them luck.
As a retired teacher with a strong Outdoor Education background, I couldn’t help myself stopping to chat with this Rosseau Lake College class on a Geology field trip. They were making many stops over a number of days to investigate the Niagara Escarpment in the Collingwood area. I met them at the Petun Conservation Area, exploring crevices. I was envious of the small group size and the enthusiasm of the youth, but not enough to draw me out of retirement.
