Evidence of the last ice storm
"I don't think we will get it started, see, there's a loose wire over there."
The Trail crosses a tributary of the Nottawasaga River by a series of three bridges.
Oakville Pathfinders think bridges are for wimps !
The Trail climbs steeply on a switchback to the ridge.
"Elevensies"
The Trail follows Dunby Road and we turn left on to Third Line EHS
The Trail turns left off the 3rd Line and climbs a steep and rocky path to the top of the escarpment.
