Hitting The Trail

A late start on Saturday May 9th as an early interview with CBC radio was followed up by an item for CTV.  But eventually we got away on a hot morning along the Trans Canada Trail.
   A welcome break at the Quitters Café in Stittesville, where owner and rock star Kathleen Edwards treated me to an iced coffee, and ham and brie croissant (delicious and highly recommended)..  Parking for cars, bikes, dogs out back....

...and even horses as it turned out!

...a passing cyclist told me he had seen a bear near our rest stop - was this a warning? ...


The spirit of Christmas endures on the trail....

Cocoon....

Ann had sorted out a place to stay at Ashton, and I was met and guided in by Ottawa Valley hunt club official Bob to Lady's overnight quarters chez Cindy Lauzer while I was scooped up and taken home by the energetic Grits (her nickname!) McMullen for spaghetti, sorbet, shower and bed.  Thanks all!
