I wasn't sure if this one would turn out due to the position of the sun. The plaque outlines the goal, to make it to the Northern Terminus.
We found this old ruin in the afternoon. It was about 20 minutes from the site we had lunch. We weren't about to scale the cliff to get down to investigate further. Perhaps we'll do that as a special excusion one day. Clearly someone built a structure here, for what purpose I'll likely never know.
This plaque commemorates the bridge that was built over the Queen Elizabeth Way, a major highway that the trail crosses. It was only recently opened. I'm not sure how people crossed in the past, most likely on the rail bridge. Not by dodging highway traffic I hope!
You can't have too many pictures of old wrecks in canals. I have no idea how these got there. The water in this part of the canal isn't very deep as you can see by the height of the cars in the water.
If our first day was any indication hiking the entire Bruce Trail is going to be an abosulte blast. I'm looking forward to another day out in the fall. In the meantime I'll be busy learning the business of fatherhood. Which is great really, because hopefully I'll be able to pass on the passion for hiking, explore nature and part of Ontario with my children. It's also great that Curtis has the same goals and ambitions.
