Day 2 - March 15th

Gorgeous sunny day!! Cooler than yesterday; high of 2 C, windy in exposed areas and hot in sheltered sunny areas.
Reflections of the day: Exhilarating!! 25.3 km of mud, mud, mud with spectacular hikes through hardwood forests, trees and shadows an array of vertical majesty, along creeks in the woods, and a hydro damn and lake with a sandbar in the middle and gulls squawking, two waterfalls. We hiked on city streets, country roads and along side the Welland Canal. We lunched at the First Nations Peace Monument by friendsoflaurasecord.com... (those of us on the sunny side were warm, the rest froze) There were several bridges, one of them the "Laura Secord Bridge" and some impromptu history lessons which I've already forgotten...
Uneven terrain made my ankles ache, same as yesterday but since they eased off after some stretching, cbd ointment and tlc I think they'll be better every day:-)
