Fun, chatty run/hike with poles in Pretty River Provincial Park with Funderstorm. It was foggy and mysterious for much of the morning - like being in a forest in Middle Earth. Absolutely beautiful. :)
After 103K last weekend, my main goal today was just to do some climbing. The running part was less important. We started out by taking the Bruce Trail to its highest point, which is on the John Haight side trail. (If you did the Snowshoe Raid, you may have visited this control location.) After that, we just winged it until finally we didn't really know where we were. I pulled out my iPhone and even fired up its compass, which hasn't happened before. I was carrying 3 maps but they were tucked away in my pack until then since it didn't really matter where we went. It *did* matter that we got back to the car eventually though!
'Bent and BGY went on their own separate run. More running, more poison ivy, less chat. Whatever floats your boat, I guess. ;) To their great surprise, they ran into Goose and Coach LD - twice! We didn't see them but apparently they heard us. Wonderful morning!
