Hiking

Post by KrisKramer »

I spent a few hours today taking a hike and watching Bees. It was so wonderful to be out relaxing in nature. So wonderful to just see the beauty in the forest and watch all the wonderful animals

We're blessed to have local public woods, and I love it. No car fumes, concrete sidewalks, or stop signs. And my dog does much better there than in town.

We have Point Pelee National Park just a couple miles away and we visit there often. Bike and walking trails, boardwalks through the marsh areas, lookout towers, canoe rentals, camp grounds, etc. We don't have as many deer as we once had as they keep the deer population down but we often see wild turkeys, sometimes flying squirrels, recently some beavers and this past couple weeks an abundance of cotton tail rabbits. And of course in the Spring all kinds of birds heading north stop at the park after crossing Lake Erie. My wife and I take our chihuahua with us most everywhere.

We love being out in the woods and observing nature. As we get older it is more of a car ride than a hike when hips and knees are not what they once were but give me the woods over the city any day. In my younger years hiking for miles and taking a lunch and snacks was a big part of my life. Now it's more of a Tim Horton's coffee and donut and a slow car ride. But it is still quite enjoyable.

Been to Pelee Island, but never really explored the park. I want to.

Wife: There’s a place here that I like to take the children when it’s not so hot and go for a hike on the boardwalk. It’s nice being able to say venomous snakes and turtles and other animals way below us. We have to do the handicap access entrance because it’s more stroller friendly and doesn’t smell like the sewer plant.

Our church does a Thanksgiving hike in the morning before they do a lunch and supper. Only going to be doing that this year if hubby is off work, because I can’t keep track of all of them on my own.

Is that supposed to be a picture of poison ivy or something? It’s not. At least not the kind of poison ivy I’m used to seeing “leaves of three, leave them be”
