Trail Walk episode # 10

It's a lovely morning as we arrive in Hunter River to begin another day of our journey on the trail. David McIsaac and Leah Michaud are ready to go.


David and Leah cheerfully wave farewell as they head for their destination for the day, Royalty Center a distance that will be 22 Km.
We find it interseting how the trail will offer us a view that goes on for a long distance and at other times it is filled with many curves.


May is normally a time for dandelions but we are ammazed at the fields that are overly thick with dandelions this year.
"Look at the heavens:how beautiful they are!
And look at the Earth:  how beautiful it is!
Both heaven and Earth radiate beauty!"
St. Augustine
Leah and David arrive in Milton, the handover point for the day. It's time for Leah to pass on the walking stick to Gilles.

The bridge railing are a welcome site as David leans on them to rest his weary legs....but the benches that are along the trail also give us the opportunity to rest.
There are many rivers and creeks that are winding their way toward the ocean.

As we approach the ourskirts of the city of Charlottetown we encounter a young mother and father enjoying the sunny afternoon with their two children.

We finally arrive at the Royalty Junction Road and Gilles is exhausted. Unfortunately there are 2 more Kms to go for our pick up at Brackley Point Road.
This will be our start point tomorrow.
