Peninsula #1, Bluewater Park, Wiarton km 0.0 to Purple Valley Access Trail km 14.8; May 18, 2018

 Today we started in at Wiarton Willy's statue and hiked along the
 north shore of Colpoy's bay to the Purple Valley Access Trail
Same hikers as May 16th pictures, you know who you are.
Still sunny just a bit more windy as we hike along the north shore of Colpoy's Bay
A spiral staircase takes us to the top of the Escarpment
The Corran ruins.

"Damn Tourists."

A porcupine up a tree
He's hard to see
But he's there, believe me.

There were two of these stations set up on this section to remove
 foriegh matter from the soles of our hiking boots... great idea.



Unbelievable fields of trilliums.
Case & Steve taking in the scenic view of Colpoy's Bay on 'Sharon's Bench'.
A tribute to Sharon France who left us too soon.



A few trees down along the trail. Evidence of a recent windstorm.
A rock.
A last look out to Georgian Bay as we wind up three fantastic days of hiking.
.... one more picture of the fields of trilliums.
