Walking the Headingly Grand Trunk Trail Part 3

We continue our walk on the Headingly Grand Trunk Trail, day 3 Part 3. This leg is from Talleau Road to Harris road. The scenery is much of the same. As I mentioned in earlier episodes, this trail is wide open with not a lot of trees for shelter from the elements so it is adviseable to walk the Grand Trunk trail during cooler weather. Noticeable difference is less farmer's fields and more trees and wild flowers along the way.

We passed by the the expansive Breezy Bend Golf course with just a few golfers at that end of the course. A newer housing development caught our attention and we stopped for a closer look at the waterfall with a grassy wetlands area with a lone duck .

Our quiet walk was interrupted by someone on a dirt bike, passing us several time even though they are not allowed on the trail. This biker ignored several signs posted along the trail warning against any motorized vehicles.

There were  Llots of wild flowers along the trail, deep blue skies with scattered clouds made this a carefree and pleasant walk.

RV Trip to St Malo Provincial Park, Manitoba

St Malo Provincial Park ©Ashauntae(2020) St Malo Beach Having just acquired our first motorhome , it was time to start planning trips to campgrounds. We would start  in Manitoba and work our way across Canada and eventually to the United States. To our surprise available campgrounds were in short supply. It seems like due to COVID-19 and stay at home orders, campgrounds had become a high demand commodity. ©Ashauntae(2020) Tiffen Allegro Motorhome With perservance we managed to find three nights in the St Malo Provincial park in mid July. The highlight of St Malo is it's family friendly twin beaches.  One of the beaches called sunset beach is the ideal location to watch the sunset.

Natural wonders of the Bahamas – The Boiling Hole

Boiling Hole, Bahamas, Image credit Bahamas.com Google advanced images The Bahamas will leave you dumbstruck by the site of their natural wonders one of which is The Boiling Hole. Tidal conditions in the clear lake called the Boiling hole, created burps and bubbles. As the tide flows out to the sea, the water coming out of the cave causes bubbles on the surface.   When the tide flows inward, a whirlpool is created by the water rushing into the cave system. There is a boardwalk for viewing and a ladder to get closer to this wonder.   You may also get a glimpse of spy rays, baby sharks and the many birds nesting in the mangroves. The Boiling Hole is in Hepburn Town, Eight Mile Rock Grand Bahama Island.
