After driving up through heavy rain to reach the trailhead at East Linton Road, the rain stopped and it was cooler than it has been on our most recent hikes. Catherine, Ron, David, Fran, and Steve the photographer started off up the East Linton Access Trail.
After David clarified for us as to where the Trail was, we headed off through a land where we expected to encounter hobbits.
Despite passing some swampy areas the flies were not an issue on the hike.
The Trail soon exited the woods onto a narrow gravel road.
We passed what we believe was an old Ford Fairlane.

A particularly steep descent...
and back to Hobbit Land.
A well placed picnic table courtesy of the local snowmobile club, served us well for lunch.
After lunch we headed down the escarpment along a rail trail that passes several farms.
After passing through a suburban part of Owen Sound, we climbed back up on the escarpment.
We knew we were nearing our destination when we reached Jones Falls.

After a short Access Trail we were back to our car and off to the Knights Inn and dinner at Shorty's!
