22nd Hike - Another Map Done!

This hike connected the one from last fall in Glenn Haffy Conservation Area with the one I took that went onto Airport Road. We started out at Coolihan's Sideroad and Glen Haffy Road.

The path was quite straight, although it had some serious hills! We met the trailhead for the Palgrave Side Trail, a 10 kilometer trail that leads to the Palgrave Conservation Area.

To stay on the Bruce Trail, we had to hike it on over the fence. We figured out later that there was a little shortcut that you could use to get around it.....

From here we went into a serious gully. It is apparently known as "The Dingle" and was an Irish settlement back in the day. The word "Dingle" means “a wooded or deep gulch which was shadowed from the sun”, and there was a school here that was called the Dingle School that closed in 1950.  If we would have followed the trail that went straight, I am quite sure that we would have seen its ruins.

 Soon enough we came to a stream, and found something we have not yet seen on the Bruce Trail. A stream without a bridge to cross it!

 There were plenty of beautiful flowers budding, too!

We followed the trail back onto Innis Lake Road. Here we were able to see some beautiful homes.

When we got to the spot where I had parked the car last time, we turned around and did it all over again :) Here are some shots of some other things we saw.

And just like that.....another map was completed! That's 3 done, 39 to go!
