adventure here we come....

Today was the perfect day for a hike---so hiking I went. The sun was shining, and the air was cold; a comfortable and refreshing cold.

Nestled in the heart of a small town, not far from me, is the most beautiful treasure... care to discover it with me?

This is where it all started: at the top of the gorge for the Hobbs Mackenzie Drain.

The first and largest set of falls running on the Drain.

A nice view of all three waterfalls.

Continuing onward...

My thinking rock. This is my special nature spot to come and think. The sound of the water running, the fresh smell of autum, sigh, it's just so refreshing. I feel care free and relaxed---it's perfect. I have some pretty special memories here, finding the strength and peace to get by.

A look back on how far we've come.

Almost to the river.

Where the Drain meets the Ausable River. I love the way the sun casts it's warming beems on the colourful trees.

Time to head back up. There are seven flights of stairs ahead of us: think we can make it?

Victory!

Thanks for walking with me---it was a blast!
