| At the newly erected Aboriginal Peace Monument |
Today's hikers were Eric, Nancy, Marleen, Ron, Sandra, Richard (led mostly from behind), Annette, Rhonda, George, Stefan (Sweep and bagman) and
our intrepid photographer, Fran.
The weather was overcast and about 3C. After minor confusion about where the first stop was (if all else fails; read the instructions!) we dropped a couple of cars at the Swayze Falls Access and were off to our start point at Decew House.

| We quickly ran into the expected mud! |
After a brisk walk along the exposed causeway beside Lake Moodie we were in bush following the escarpment edge over to Morningstar Mill
 |
| Decew Falls |
A short walk along Decew Rd and we were back in bush as we entered the Short hills Provincial Park
Short Hills lived up to its name with many ups and downs and stream crossings plus its reputation as "Mud Central"
 |
| The Bag Man Cometh! |
Stefan found plenty of work to do on his (Ann Giles inspired) Spring Clean-up. By the end of the hike we had another dollar for the Bruce Trail Conservancy in empty beer cans!

| Terrace Creek Falls |

| Time for Elevensies? |
 |
| What better spot than Terrace Creek Falls for a break? |
After our break we slogged through more mud at various points before getting to Swayze Falls which was putting on a pretty good show.
 |
| Swayze Falls with water! |
We took the last side trail where the Bruce Trail crosses Swayze Creek to get back to the cars.
