Actual distance;


Hikers; Case, Andy, Chrisine, Helgy and our Leader Steve
We had intended to get an early start on Tuesday morning but we were not able to get breakfast in Lion's Head before 8 am. We left Rachel's about 9 and drove to the Community Parking Lot on Dyer's Bay Road. We left two cars there and drove to back to the start where the Trail crosses the Cape Chin South Road at 98.1 km.




We climbed to the top of the escarpment and encountered several excellent lookouts over Georgian Bay. .




At the tip of Cape Chin the trail turned inland where we encountered a beaver pond







We crossed several pastures and reached the Cape Chin North Road. We walked about 600 m and turned into the woods where we stopped for Elevensies.




We came out to the escarpment edgewhere there was a spectacular vista of Dyer's Bay to the north and we stopped here for lunch.





Our 'Spiritual' Leader
"And God created the Heavens and the Earth
and he saw that it was good ......... but then
He created the Bruce Trail and it was GREAT !"

The Develi's Monument and the stairs that lead to the bottom of it.

The trail heads down hill and in short orfer we are going uphill  ...... again!



The Michiganers Arch
From the Michiganers Arch we folowed the trail north to Dyer's Bay Road and our cars.
