While 'Bent and Tarno galloped around the Pretty River trails together, I headed up from the road to the highest point on the Bruce Trail.
There was a baby raccoon roasting in a sunny spot on the trail up there. Supposedly his Mom will return but I felt sorry for the cute little guy. He was trying so hard to be ignored.
I've only ever been in Pretty River Valley Provincial Park with an orienteering map or else I've followed Bruce Trail blazes. So when I decided to play it by ear and explore some single track, it's not at all surprising that I ended up bushwhacking while watching the Bruce Trail app on my phone, trying - and failing - to get back to the car at the same time as the boys. Beautiful place - I need to get familiar with more trails there.
After the run, 'Bent finally got a chance to try the new patio furniture at Tree Hugger ABC. It's popular with the whole family.
