Beaver Valley - Margaret Paull ST (13.3 km) to Maple Lane (0.0 km) - May 10, 2019



It was an overcast, cold (5 degrees) day but there was no rain in the forecast. Although the hike was shorter that yesterday's, it had a lot more elevation and lots of MUD. We started at 9 and finished by 2.

Can't get bored on this hike....a little water and mud (not sure what's piqued Ron's curiosity), fenceline, road, some road allowance, mud, and more mud

The mud made navigating the trail interesting.
Thankfully, no one went down


Spring flowers....red trillium, wild ginger, early meadow rue

Boot cleaning time!

We made a quick stop at the Ravenna store for coffee and treats and then it was homeward bound.
