Season 1, Episode 14 : “Boyne Valley”
🌲🚶🌳Subscribe 🌲🍁🌲
It was great to get back on trail after a few weeks, now in the mid summer July heat. From 1st Line Granger the trail took us through the rolling rural countryside. The wildflowers were in bloom and the fields were full of life.
The song to start this episode is the popular “Drop That Load” from the album “Upland”. It’s a song about freeing yourself from unnecessary concerns and troubles – to “only carry what needs to be carried”. It doesn’t do us any good to perpetually carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. Hiking the Bruce Trail frees the mind – it’s also good when hiking to only carry what needs to be carried (pack light) for this would be a long hot day on the trail.
There’s something special about the rolling countryside, and fields in summer. Then a couple of road sections, also beautiful with summer flowers, horses and butterflies took us to the south end of Boyne Valley Provincial Park.
Beautiful creeks and tall trees welcomed us as we traversed the terrain.
The hike was so awesome it is split into two episodes. We popped out on 1st Line Mulmer and that’s where this one ends. The next episode is titled “Pine River”
The second song featured is the fun reggae tune “Horses Are Supposed to Know Your Feelings”. “Communicate with love” it says.
