Beaver Valley #2 - 6th Line (14 km) to Fox Ridge Road (37.5 km) - Oct. 12th, 2017

It was a cloudy cool day when Fran, Ron, and Steve started a 23.5 km hike through the north east part of Beaver Valley.  We combined the normal BV hikes 2 through 4 into 2 hikes to allow completion of the Beaver Valley Section this year.
 


The leaves had turned but the dull skies didn't help.

We crossed a stream.

But we were soon back to road walking.

We passed though a series of farmers fields.

The sumac was in full colour


and into the forest

with a carpet of fallen leaves.

Some interesting specimens for Ron


We encountered a porcupine along the trail.

We soon came to the Metcalfe Crevice Side Trail







We soon crossed Mill Creek and Ron found a new specimen.

As we ended our hike we came across some wild turkeys who had luckily missed Thanksgiving.
