Hi All
Today BB and I went to the same place as yesterday but
took the left hand trail. It went through very
different country.
First we came to big rock outcrops - long ones just
like those in Whale Lake - some 50 m or more and 3 - 4
m high. Covered with moss. and slippey!
Next was a Lunenburg drumilin. Quite high and covered
with a nice grove of hardwoods. Beech, Maple, Oak
along with a few populars. Not many birch. Nice trees
- not hugh - 30 cm size.
After the drumlin, the hill dropped sharply - the
water had carved out the road - some places 2 m deep.
Then it turned into what I thought was an old winter
road for sleighs. Oven or horses - depending.
This road lead right to Whale lake and came to the
lake in a little cove. A pair of old stakes on the
shore indicated the it had became a road on the ice at
one time. The stakes so you could be sure you were in
the right place before you went into the woods.
Prehaps the ice was bushed in the winter.
The horses or oxen were good at finding their way
home. We don't depend much on animals anymore to find
the way. Used to - just relax and let them do the
thinking. Thats why I let BB take me home - reminds me
of the old days with horses and sleighs.
Birds were different today - a ruffed grouse and a red
tailed hawk were all. The drumlin looked like a good
spot in the summer for nests.
Enjoy the winter
Paul
