Canada Day Hike

The Starting Point
We were supposed to get all sorts of rain this weekend, but it didn't pan out, and it was hot and humid, so we decided to go to Starkey's Loop for a 4 km hike.  It starts out in the fields, but, very quickly, you end up in forest, going up and down hills, through swampy bits, past fields etc.  There are some very old (100-150 year old in fact) split-rail cedar fences that abut the trail, remnants of the demarcation of framer's fields.  It was a bit buggy with mosquitoes, especially as we were sweaty, but it was nice to get  away from the house and do a nature walk.

The hike begins - wait up CC!

Where I heard lots of frogs
Furry, white moth
Elderberries
