Over the past few months Landchatch, Islander54 and I have been doing sections of the Juan de Fuca Trail system, mostly in the rain. These trails are wonderful and some spots were certainly not for the faint of heart. On some of of our hikes we parked the car, hiked to the trail and back to the parked car for a distance of 15 to 21KM's depending on what day. We have now completed about 2/3 of the trail and look forward of completing the rest of the trail in the spring.
We also hiked some of the Alberni Inlet trail three weeks ago and did a total of 19.2 KM's that day. The weather was a little damp in the morning but it cleared up and in late morning the sun started to show it's face. Some of the was trail was a little muddy and will certainly hinder our efforts to finish it off until late spring. The views were breath taking and would recommend this trail system for everyone to try out, keeping in mind that some parts are a difficultly of 4.
On November 4, Princess! and I flew to Campbellton NB to visit family and have been doing caching on some of the trails in Campbellton NB and Cross Point in Quebec. The weather was certainly cold, reaching 0. The caching is a lot different, not only weather wise but their way of hiding and type of containers the use. After 7 days in this area we moved on the Moncton NB for one night, caching along the way and then drove to Halifax, NS today and did one cache on the trip. We did a few caches in Halifax this afternoon. We pland to do some tourist things, visit a few old friends and do caching as much as possible. My goal is to find the first cache in Canada which is about 30 minutes from my hotel. I will write a short blog once I find the oldest cache. Paulboy
