Hike #3 October 24 2020

Arranged to do a shuttle hike this time, with that dude. I dropped Annie with KB and met R at 23.4 where we left his car. 

Drove back to 11.4, peed outside the tunnel (the disadvantage of driving 90 minutes to hike is that I've had 3 coffees by the time I've arrived) and set off. 

This was a fairly easy stretch and I enjoyed hiking with that dude. We hiked thru a section that had a golf course on one side and the old Welland Canal on another. 


It's the tail end of mushroom season in Southern Ontario but you can still find them if you look for them. 



Another nice find was this yellow flower, called butter-and-eggs, along the busy roadside near a lift bridge. 



It got a little confusing around 21.9 where we found ourselves following yellow blazes instead of white, but we got back on track and returned to his car, conveniently parked right at a white blaze on a concrete pole.



After a stop at the Niagara Community College so he could buy wine, he returned me to my car and I went and picked up Annie from KB. 

Total of 12 km. I didn't see the shoe tree until after I was in my car and leaving, but I stopped and got some photos anyway. 



Stats:
starting near marker 11.4
ending near marker 23.4
total hiked today: 12 km
total Bruce Trail hiked since starting: 23.4 km
