This is a very common scene on our family hikes: @brienne way off at the front, probably waiting for us to catch-up. It has been that way since the early days of hiking. She sets a blistering pace and keeps us moving.

Out of the trees @hammerhead checking out the view - stopped by this pond for lunch. Surprisingly, bugs weren't an issue: glad we got on the trail early (9-ish) as temperature heated up as the day progressed.

@hammerhead and I along with four other hikers enjoyed a 22Km trek from Falmouth to Wolfville, NS - much of the route followed an old stagecoach road (trying to visualize how 'comfortable' it would be jolting along in a stagecoach!): now used by ATV's, snowmobilers, cross-country skiers and hikers! Much of the trail was walking under a canopy. Stopped here for a snack: @hammerhead has discovered he's missing the bottom portion of one of his trekking poles, lost somewhere between here and the trunk of the car. Mourning the probable end of the lengthy relationship with this 'gear-friend :))

This hike is one of the best we have found within an easy drive of Montreal so far. It has it all: a small mountain to climb, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, swimming holes, and fantastic camp sites (if you know where to look).

It was very nice to have @celine with us today for this hike! Unfortunately, @mypictograph was sick so he decided to stay home for the day. While he was disappointed to miss out on the great swimming hole, the consolation prize was that he had the PS4 all to himself :-)
