“From a little acorn the mighty oak tree grows.” — Mrs. Beale, 1945, my grade four teacher wrote in my autograph book. She was right. ☺
Some often wonder when out walking — what's over the next hill?
I wonder what's on top the steep cliffs while walking along Vancouver Island beaches.
That's what drones are for.
Most 15 to 50 million dollar homes along Victoria's waterfront have no public access.
Therefore, one needs a drone to get a good view.
Sunday morning I hiked 2.5km in Mt. Douglas Park. I hadn't been up Little Mount Douglas in a decade so parked along Blenkinsop Rd. and headed up the Mercer Trail.
The Tod Trail connects to Mercer in a hundred meters or so so we hung a left there and headed up the mountain.
Once atop Little Mount Doug, Tod Trail carries on down the north col to Whittaker Trail.
From there, one hangs a right southbound to pick up Mercer again and back to Blenkinsop Road. This didn't happen.
I met a couple of hikers just south of Little Mountain who were standing on a branch trail at a fork in the path. I asked them which was the main trail and they said they were standing on Blenkinsop Trail which lead back to that eponymous road. This was true but not the trail I came up on. Anyway, I came out at a designated park, parking lot and walked the few hundred metres back to my vehicle.
The climb up Little Mount Doug was steeper than I remembered so I probably won't go up this way again. The north col Tod Trail is easier and safer.
The entire route was recorded with a new free app in my phone. Avenza GPS tracking program is recommended by the Friends of Mount Douglas Park and they provide a free, online, downloadable map to go with it. This is what is shown in the image.

Saturday morning I cycled 24km roundtrip from home to Panama Flats and back.
Saturdays are always busy on the trails as the workers get out with the family and enjoy the nice weather.
Panama Flats has a labyrinth of trails covering its large area but few take time to explore them.
Other than locals, most are just passing through on there way to somewhere else. Pity.
The main trail is the Inland Interurban Connector section between Colquitz River Park and Copley West Park.
Several linear parks make up the route between Tillicum Mall and the Red Barn Market on West Saanich Road.
I put my DJImini 2 drone up over Panama Flats while there.
Hillside Mall. This is the last of over 7000 photos taken with my Samsung Galaxy Note 5. I got the latest Samsung Galaxy Note 9 on Cyber Monday. They made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

I Cycled iZip 22km roundtrip to Panama Flats Park and home.
This is my old hood from the 60s
We lived on Daisy St. and now there is a labyrinth of trails around that location.
I followed the one behind our old property up to McKenzie Ave. at Carey Rd.
After cycling back the same route to the high ground within Panama Flats Park, I then headed for home in Gordon Head.
Instead of backtracking along the Inland Interurban Trail to Tillicum Mall we headed up Marigold Rd. to Burnside Rd.W to get back on the Galloping Goose Trail at the McKenzie overpass.
Log on beach at Ross Bay. Been here since the last big storm about 50 years ago. Seas are much calmer now otherwise it would have been moved.

Thursday morning I walked the mountain 3800m loop as per Dr. Richard R Mildenberger, MD., Victoria's foremost heart specialist's instructions.
Dr. Mildenberger instructions to me: "Get out twice a week and get your heartrate (HR) up to 120bpm for 20-minutes."
This is what I do by hiking up Glastonbury Hill (The Grind) and over Mt. Tolmie. Only now, during this crisis, it's only once per week (or not).
Monday morning I went to Canadian Tire and bought a crowbar to remove English Ivy vines from a Garry Oak tree in our neighbourhood. While there, this display was unavoidable.
Monday morning we cycled 19km (12miles) along the loop formed by the Galloping Goose Trail and the E&N Rail Trail
Back in the 60s when we lived at 730 Daisy Ave. our water bill used to come in addressed to 729 Hyacinth Ave. This was due to the fact Hyacinth Ave. was never completed but that's where the water main was laid for the one-of-two lots we owned. The front lot was on Daisy Ave. but the back lot — where our house was located — was where the never-built Hyacinth-road property was registered at the land office. Strange but true. Only in Saanich you say? Perhaps.
Either way, in the intervening six decades it left open a great opportunity for Saanich to build another park (Swan Creek)) and accompanying trail systems. So they did. Nothing wrong with that. All's well that ends well.
