Trekking (Trail and Off-Trail) 1:55:19 [1] 6.71 km (17:12 / km) +146m 15:31 / km
shoes: Salomon S-Lab Wings 8
After a chilly breakfast on the deck with Goose and Coach LD, we warmed up by bushwhacking to the Bruce Trail and hiking over to Metcalfe Rock.
AdventureDog and BazingaDog joined us and behaved well - a relief after B-Dog's meltdown yesterday.
It was a perfect Thanksgiving Sunday morning.
Coach LD demonstrated a gymnastics move on top of a cliff.
I gave Goose the old orienteering map, which gave him a project. Yay, maps.
The Doughtys had never seen the University of Toronto Outing Club cabin where 'Bent spent so much time in his twenties so we took a detour to see it.
Thinking about it afterward, we realized that our orange "don't shoot me" apparel made us look official. Several of the cabin's inhabitants came out to say hello, including the current Cabin Officer, which was 'Bent's role in the early 1990s. They were very friendly and thought it was pretty cool that 'Bent had emerged from the depths of history. They excitedly showed us their project to reinforce the structure and insisted that 'Bent join them for one photo.
Then we headed back on the Kolapore Church Trail. Where it got close to the Bruce Trail, we bushwhacked across, then we followed our marked bushwhacking route back to the chalet.
AdventureDog looks so tiny and brave in this photo. :)

'Bent and I went out with flagging tape and pruners to work on our bushwhacking route to the Bruce Trail, which is about 600 m from the back of our property. We checked the feasibility of a western route with less elevation gain but were stymied by a serious stone wall that ran all the way up the hill. We decided that the hill climbing on our original route would be easier on skis, even if we have to take them off to walk a short section. We went back there and spent a while trying out different options for the steepest part of the climb. There is still a short stretch that we might relocate but we were able to start real trail work, which was fun. When we were done, we did some exploring with a compass to try to figure out our property lines on the east and west.
