Sunday we walked 5km along the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Rail Trail from Hallowell Road northwest to Helmcken Road. The plan was to walk northbound along the trail to see how work is progressing at Dunsmuir's Cut at the Four Mile railway bridge.
Work is proceeding at an exponential rate since we were there two-weeks ago. What a fine job of engineering and workmanship the contractor is producing in the course of completing this 10-mile (16km) long, multi-use trail beside the E&N railway tracks.
It was another beautiful, spring-like day in Victoria at a sunny, 11°C (52°F). We topped our outing off with lunch at the Four-Mile Pub (with pictures-to-prove-it).
A brand new tank for seed and fertilizer, waiting to be incorporated into a new zero tillage seeder, being copied from the CIMMYT design for a Mexican firm which supplies technical advice to producers of barley for beer production. CIMMYT's multi-crop, multi-use seeder was designed and built at CIMMYT specifically for conservation agriculture, with many adaptations and alterations over time; the new seeder will be almost identical but for small grains only. Many replicas of CIMMYT's seeder have now been made, by companies producing it for sale, organizations and farmers themselves, all slightly modified for their users' needs.

Sydenham in Frontenac County is where the 300 km Rideau hiking trail connecting Kingston and Ottawa along the 202 km Rideau Canal Waterway system (National HIstoric Site) intersects the NE–SW oriented 104 km Cataraqui Trail (multi-use rail trail) between Strathcona and Smiths Falls. Following this ride I met a snowmobiler (no, he wasn't out on his machine) who said that the trail is broken in Strathcona by the paper mill, but it actually runs to Napanee. The official trail map doesn't include that portion, so I don't know its true status.
"Arcosanti, a prototype town for 5,000 people designed by Soleri, under construction since 1970. Located at Cordes Junction, in central Arizona, the project is based on Soleri's concept of "Arcology," architecture coherent with ecology. Arcology advocates cities designed to maximize the interaction and accessibility associated with an urban environment; minimize the use of energy, raw materials and land, reducing waste and environmental pollution; and allow interaction with the surrounding natural environment".

Our client asked for a show-car garage, pool house, exterior kitchen, loft, home office and bathroom. We were able to ground this multi-purpose structure by pulling key exterior features from their home. By adding a circular portico this building has a flair that is unique to the home, and a contrasting, yet anchoring relationship to the new pool. | Chase Building Group | www.chasebuildinggroup.com
Today we walked 6km roundtrip along the Westsong Walkway from half way up Harbour Road thru to Head St. beside West Bay Marina.
Pedestrians and cyclists have a new 34 metre long and five metre wide overpass as part of the overall Johnson Street Bridge project. The steel span goes over Esquimalt Road, near Harbour Road and the Delta Ocean Pointe Resort.
Inglewood General Store, 15596 McLaughlin Road, Inglewood, ON, L7G 1N1. We always stop here for an ice cream cone, but were a week too early this time. Apparently they have the main ice cream freezer only in the summer. Very neat store though with home baked cookies and superb Planet Bean coffee, which is Fair Trade certified. The Caledon Trailway, an operating CPR rail line, and McLaughlin Road (a.k.a. Division Street here) all cross at this location.
Little Credit River bypassing an old beaver dam beside the Caledon Trailway (see link to Yahoo! map below the photo and to the right). Other relevant maps include this map of watersheds within the Regional Municipality of Peel, and this map of the Ken Whillans Resource Management Area (although this dam is likely just off the top of the latter).
The Kate Pace Way, another handle bar shot travelling south on the trail from North Bay towards Callander.
In my opinion, the last four or five kilometers (from which this and the previous pictures have been taken) are the nicest on the trail and certainly as nice a spot as you will find on a bike trail anywhere in Canada or beyond.
After putting about 1500 miles on an exercise bike since December, and leaving about 45 lbs behind, I thought it time to take my legs out on the road.....
Wilkinson Road new bridge and trail improvements. Seems cyclists and pedestrians can share the trail
Fully Paved Pink Sapphire & Diamond Heart Pendant set on 18K Yellow Gold. Multi-use Pendant includes five revolving bars with all Diamond on one side and Pink Sapphire on the other. Pendant can be worn many different different ways to fit the occasion.
abandoned c. 1984, later converted to a multiuse trail. Originally this was the Concord and Portsmouth RR, but the Concord RR didn't want the competition for traffic into Concord from the south. The story goes that the Concord RR's management got control of the C & P, convinced the legislature that the route was too steep by taking the legislators on a trip using a decrepit engine fueled by soaking wet green logs. Once the engine broke down on a climb, the legislators agreed to change the western terminus to Manchester, giving the Concord its monopoly.
This new building is next door to St Matthews Church and opposite a Pocket Park. The building is multi-use with shops at street level. (will open 2024).
The view is towards the previous site of Charter Sq.

The crowded lakes here are multiuse... a sailboat enthusiast launched this radio-controlled boat while I was observing the waterfowl. Being an old sail boater myself, I appreciated the difficulty of the controller trying to navigate through this moving throng. I would suppose the birds simply moved out of the way and showed minimal interest in this intruder.
