~~`Walking The Trails~~

If you read yesterday's post you know that I was out last week walking snowmobile trails!
Yesterday's was on Monday heading in a due South direction...Today's post ..Tuesdays walk.. we are due North right across the road !!
Before you start I just want to say I have quite a few photos today ( this is my blog.. lol) ..just letting you know...and against my better judgement there is No word verification!! : }

This is a photo looking toward the direction that was yesterday's walk ( South)
Yesterday I showed a shot looking this way from the hill in the background (North)
It doesn't look like it in this shot, but it is quite a distance

Turning back North;  there is a lot of fields on this trail, and on big
one to cross and I am anxious to get tothe river!!


This is the same river that flows under the bridge on my road!!

 

Great day for reflections!!

 

The narrow crossing bridge that I have always heard about, but never
had seen before!!


I love the old pilings,and the reflection!!
The snowmobiles cross this bridge , but before I crossed it I thought I
would inspect it for safety ...lol!!

 
It would be hard to find the water line if it wasn't for the dark
 water mark on the granite !!

I crossed the bridge ...in places you can see through to the water!!


Side rails where a little rickety,but had some lovely lichen growing on them!!(British Soldiers is the red
not sure of the other)

Other side of the bridge, and up  a slope I saw this little shack ..not sure
what it is all about , but was hoping no one was there..lol!!


A bit future and I thought I had ended up in some other state or country!! lol
I had heard about the gravel pit, but wasn't expecting this!!
Trucks where hauling out of here and the mud was so bad it sucked your feet right in!!
 I couldn't cross to get on the trail again, which was my thought to get to the main road
which I would walk back home on,and not back track!! 


So back to the bridge!!!
From the bridge looking toward the fields to cross!!

Found some Beaver activity!!


Heading home..over" hill and dale"!!

I did so enjoy this walk.. I hope you did !

No apologies for the length : }!!!

PS..Phil I had my cell phone lol!!

  3. Another very enjoyable walk Grace and lovely photos. I particularly liked the one taken from the bridge looking over the fields. I was fascinated by the Britsh Soldiers which I have never heard of, what's the betting it doesn't grow here in Britain ;-)

    Thanks so much for removing the word verification. I hope you don't have any problems. Since I removed it last week I have only had one bit of spam but Bloggers filter picked it up before it got on my blog.

  19. Not sure a cell phone would work out there Grace, better take a GPS,a set of bright red flags and a spade to dig an overnight shelter. And don't go in that shack, that's definitely a trap for the innocent and unwary. Hey aren't those New Balance trainers of yours made in the UK? Hope so. I had some once but went back to Nike, now I'm so poor I just buy them from WalMart (Asda).
