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).
Caledon Trailway/Trans Canada Trail viewed SW'ly just SW of Kennedy Road. Despite the spring thaw and several days of heavy rain, the trail was very firm with no standing water. The Caledon Trailway is a multi-use trail with only motorized vehicles (including snowmobiles) prohibited.
This is the Lochside Trail--I took it back into Victoria to pick up some better maps and then went through Victoria and back out the other (westerly) direction on a different bike path. LOVE the bike paths:)
View northerly across McLaughlin Road (a.k.a. Division Street) in Inglewood, Ontario. Visible in to the right of centre is a roof over a map of the Caledon Trailway, which passes straight through the area where the users' cars are parked. This must have been an interesting crossing in the days when two rail lines and the road all met at this level crossing. From this location, the Trans Canada Trail parts company with the Caledon Trailway to follow McLaughlin Road northwesterly.
"Located in Wake County 10 miles northwest of downtown Raleigh, William B. Umstead State Park is a cherished retreat from bustling urban life. The park features an extensive network of hiking and multiuse trails, as well as three manmade lakes and their tributaries that are perfect for fishing. Both park entrances offer picnic shelters, and Crabtree Creek offers camping areas. Group camps and the historic Maple Hill Lodge let visitors experience a rustic overnight experience without typical modern camping amenities." SOURCE; UMSTEAD PARK WEBSITE. PHOTOS BY RAY RIVERA.
View from McLaughlin Road looking southerly. When I posted this photo, I stated that "the rail line running south is in active use by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) and the concrete slab serves as a dismount platform", but meafordsub says that service was discontinued in 2004, and I bow to his greater knowledge. The Caledon Trailway, a decommissioned CNR rail line, follows the pole line, which in Canada we call a hydro line since in the past most of our electricity was water generated. This portion of the Caledon Trailway to the southwest of McLaughlin Road is not contiguous with the Trans Canada Trail, which follows McLaughlin Road northwesterly.
Wrecksdale Wreck has a photo here of this location viewed northerly and taken in 1971

"The official Seguin Trail runs from Fern Glen, which is several kilometres west of highway 11, to Highway 400 (formerly 69) in the west. With a little effort and keen eyes, the trail can be followed from Algonquin Provincial Park in the east, to the ghost town of Depot Harbour in the west."
"This 80 km section is the best known section of the [230 km] Park to Park trail network. Following the historic route of the Ottawa, Arnprior & Parry Sound Railway (later part of the Canada Atlantic Railway) built by J.R. Booth, this section of trail stretches from just west of Highway 400 to the Wall’s Junction where the trail splits. This section of trail is one of the more adventurous segment, with a rough, dirt surfacing and the occasional puddle. This section of trail is owned and managed by the Park to Park Trail Association."

A winding path on the Cookstown section of the Trans Canada Trail in Ontario. It was one of my favourite sections on the trail with the closely spaced trees on both sides being a nice touch.

"The idea and image of the European hunter and/or naturalist on expedition in the heartland of a foreign continent lives on in the costume of the safari explorer as bedecked in khakis, pith helmets, and multi-pocketed vests. The safari expeditionist would wear the muted beige and brown or olive colors in their clothing to better camouflage themselves in their environs during an African safari and the helmets, shaped from the light weight core (pith) of a particular tree, would protect them from sun and water exposure. As the European explorers ventured into new territory with their safari expeditions they also documented and glorified their discoveries in record-keeping and literature that found its way back to the continent in ways that would ingrain themselves in the European imagination. Even though we may not wear the same costume in our contemporary expeditions being the global travelers that we are, the image of the safari traveler is an endearing one that still has resonance. "
