Oh, my gosh! It’s the sun!
We woke up to a beautiful day. Greg had decided that today we would hike the Middle Head Trail, which starts just past the Keltic Lodge off the Cabot Trail.
If I had only known what I was getting myself in for, I may have refused to go. After walking three miles the day before, my body was not prepared to walk four miles today. I can always tell when I’ve pushed my body too hard. I get weepy and start grinding my teeth. By the end of the day, I was there.
The photo below is of a Zodiac boat doing some whale watching. We actually did get to see some pilot whales as we were hiking the trail.
I was completely wiped and ready to go back to the camper by the time we finished the hike, but Greg had one more place he wanted to go.
He had read about the Lone Shieling Trail, which was a short hike through a protected old wood forest.
But first we had to get there. Yikes! Between the hairpin turns and the 8% grades, I was terrified. Greg told me that this was the route we would take with the trailer in the morning. I may have had a teeny weenie meltdown at that point.
The hike through the old wood forest was lovely, but buggy.
After the hike, I told Greg that he owed me some ice cream for putting my nerves through that driving experience.
We tried eating our ice cream outside, but the bugs were relentless. On the drive back to the campground, we were smashing gnats and mosquitoes against the windshield and windows the entire way.
