Hike

I think it was our 26th anniversary we went to Partridge Island. It was forty five minutes just to cross the breakwater. It was a sensational adventure. We saw one person at the lighthouse, a power worker I think, but the rest of the island was ours. It was filled with history and remnants of another time and place. I hear you can kayak there but not suppose to be there, fun! There were buildings without guardrails that you could look out from. Many headstones to mark people of yesteryear. We read all the history we could before going over. It was a day trip, we had brought food and water. It is one for the books. Only wildlife we saw was one raccoon on the way back across the breakwater. It was one of my favourite hikes.

I must say when we do a random unique thing on our own, it is always memorable. Hope to get back to that this year. We once ventured to the coal mines in Nova Scotia. We headed to Cape Breton and had many encounters with Moose. Simple things like the Doaktown suspension bridge and Tidnish lift lock. A mill in St. Stephen and the old ferry crossing to PEI. We love history, we did the same with the kids. Even if things don’t go so well, it is remembered with a laugh. One on one or group activity, it is good to get out and away from the same four walls. I am not ready to give this stuff up.

Adventure is waiting to get out from this blanket and do something. I think I will name my next pet adventure, so I can holler the word adventure all the time. I still got some wandering left in me. Yoga is helping my stump feet, ( killing my hands) but I will get toughened up soon enough. Face to the sun! Can’t wait!
