S2.Ep11 “Kemble Mountain” Hiking The Bruce Trail End to End A Journey Across Ontario. What a hike!

Get back on trail with the eleventh episode of Season Two : End to End Hiking The Bruce Trail, A Journey Across Ontario:
“Kemble Mountain”
This fantastic hike full of variety took us toward the great Georgian Bay shore across fields, and country roads, deciduous forest, open meadows, and over jumbled escarpment rock.
We started the day hiking up the Dawson Road side trail to get to the Bruce Trail where we ended last episode. The day began with a giant puffball mushroom at the side of the trail. There were lots of “trail feathers” along the way as we journeyed through Lindenwood Management Area, popping out eventually at Lundy Road.
After a short road stretch we came upon a glorious apple orchard grassy meadow marsh, with a sign letting us know we were in “bear country”. After a short apple fight, we continued on our way, sampling the various kinds of apples that were hanging just above our heads and dropping occasionally on the trail.
Eventually we started ascending Kemble Mountain, a large rock outcropping that looks as though it may have been an island long ago. We passed the Birch Camp where we ate our lunch in the emerging sun, and continued along some mossy cliffs and jumbled rock.
We came out of the woods to another meadow and apple orchard flanking the trail and more delicious apples. Some beautiful evening sunshine ended the day as we made our way up the notorious Colpoy’s Range Road section and up the escarpment to Skinner’s Bluff, near the Slough of Despond (which somehow we managed to get past).
