That’s not illegal right?
Happy belated Veterans Day or Remembrance Day. Yesterday, Bob and I took Jack for a short neighborhood walk on the Terry Fox Trail. Terry Fox, as I imagine all Canadians and many runners everywhere know, was a young Canadian stricken with cancer who raised funds for cancer through his attempt (after having one leg amputated) to run across Canada.
This trail wasn’t nearly so ambitious, but it made for a nice outing in a new area of St Catharines before we headed over to a local mall to buy some new running shoes for Beth and check out a new (to us) grocery store, Zehrs, to pick up some provisions for dinner.


The trail goes out of the park into a neighborhood as well.

Today, we tried a trail that we had noticed the last time we were here but didn’t try. It’s the 12 Mile Creek Trail, which is also part of the Merritt Trail, which in parts runs concurrently with the Bruce Trail. It’s all very confusing, but the takeaway for us is that this area is crazy with trails, which is okay with us.






from the creek became marshy.
