Fall hike along the Petun trail

[Mentor]

Hi All,

It was a cool and rainy day in the Blue Mountains, but I found a nice dry window for an afternoon hike. I grabbed the dog and took a wander along the Petun side trail of the Bruce Trail. It was a classic fall hike, complete with regular stops to harvest wild apples. Here are a few photos. Enjoy!

A view from the lookout:

There are plenty of mushrooms and other fungi around:

My knife of choice today was one of my own creations. What do you think?

I'm enjoying this scenery while I can - won't be long until it's covered in snow!

All the best,

- Mike

Just magnificent Mentor! I'm not sure if it is spring or the fall that I love best...I just like the changing of the seasons.

I love the northern woods! Beautiful pictures. Thanks for taking the time to post them.

I like the look of your creation. Mountain man lines always go well with wood handles. How is that carried?

Thanks! I made a leather sheath with rustic stylings and rivets. I'll take a picture tomorrow and upload it here.

All the best,

Stepped out for a late night walk in the rain. It's down to single digits here (9 C). Woo-hoo!

Here's a view of the moon through the clouds:

That is a really beautiful area Mike! I don't blame you I'd be out there too taking it all in, things take on such a different look in the snow... though that will be beautiful too in its own right. Thanks for sharing the pictures. The sun is about to come up here and I am headed to the misty foggy woods for a while myself.

A few additional shots from today:

Some appropriately seasonal views of the trees and sky

Ruby, with her ubiquitous tennis ball. We spent part of the afternoon doing some trail maintenance, which she loves.

I brought my JK ACEK along today, and it saw plenty of use chopping up downed tree limbs.

All the best,
