An afternoon hike from West to East through the Kolapore Uplands, Metcalf Crevices and some of the loveliest forested areas in the section. Timeworn stone walls, rows of majestic pines, lush meadows and fields of trillium emerged as we made our way towards Grey Road 2.
Few birds until we were rewarded with a close view of a chestnut sided warbler low in a clump of cedars, so close we didn't need binoculars to detect its markings. This plaque was secured to a bench placed in memory of a loved one. Who was Wendy?
A little light rain came down as we started back but it ended and we got most of the way back before a downpour hastened our scramble to the car. We encountered no one on this popular route except one backpacker moving quickly. I hope he made it to his destination before getting drenched!
