The Spring Equinox is a harbinger of change. On Saturday, I wanted to celebrate, and decided to reconnect with Delaps Cove. We took the Bohaker Trail and enjoyed the beautiful clear vistas of the Bay of Fundy. Driving the shore road, you enter a different world, and a different economy, from the Valley. We decided to save Charlie’s Trail for another day.
After the walk, we stopped at the Crow’s Nest in Hillsburn for a late lunch: they serve an excellent sea food chowder, in a ‘homey’ atmosphere
Thrilled with this successful adventure, we stopped at Bees Knees for fruit cake. Then on to Kingston Park for a recreational cool-down stroll.
In the evening, I checked out Scott Osmond’s ‘Hidden Nova Scotia’. No reference to Delaps Cove. I had the realization that Osmond tends to focus more on the human artifacts on the landscape, and less on the natural features of the landscape
With much enthusiasm, I thought about a Sunday hike out to Peter Point in Kejimkujik National Park. But the weather did not cooperate; instead snowflakes on a cold wind. Must wait for more Spring sunshine.

Postscript
The last mile or two to the Delaps Cove trailhead is not in great shape.
Watch out for significant pot-holes.
