Iroquoia #1 Grimsby 0.0 km to Lewis Road 11.1 km, Feb 09, 3017

We hiked this section from West to East to have the wind in our back while road 
walking. The weather was abt. -5C and somewhat cloudy.
 Today's hikers; Case the photog; Stefan; Bill; Carol; Christine; Steve our leader 
and Mike. A large Persian cat checked us out, Steve wanted to call him Bob.
 We hike the Lewis Road Access Trail, 480 m, 
a steep climb halfway  up the escarpment to the Bruce Trail.
  
We follow the Trail through a predominately hardwood forest towards Fifty Road.
 Another climb to the top of the escatpment.


 View from the escarprment north to Lake Ontario
 The Beamer Memorial Conservation Area, perfect spot for lunch.
The tower is used to observe the Hawk migration into Ontario in the spring.
 The Town of Grimsby from the Escarpmeny.
 A long descent to the bottom of the Escapement.


 We follow the Forty Mile Creek down the Trail.

The Trail comes off the Escarpment in the Town of Grimsby
