Economy Falls
After a somewhat harrowing half hour drive in a rental car (that's good and bad) up a track we were sure couldn't actually be the right way we arrived at the parking lot ( i.e. the end of the road) then a short hike over to the 186 step stairway down to the bottom of the canyon to view Economy Falls. Worth it. S went swimming. I swear I saw some floes in the tannin coloured water.

The Old Villa by the Speed Trail
The Old Villa by the Speed Trail at Ignatius crossing a small creek on a very cold morning - we met a few snowshoers and skiers. You can park along Cross Creek - there's a public access point into the river forest.

Chardin Trail
A cold cold morning needs a spirited jaunt to lively up the escape from the shivery woods.

Liscomb River
The lack of minerals makes for very soft water which foams easily trapping insects - makes for good fishing. Nice trail. Hint: don't try driving up the short cut.

St. James United Church
A plaque commemorating poet Elizabeth Bishop adorns the entrance to this church.
"Effectively orphaned, Bishop lived with her Canadian Bulmer grandparents in Great Village, Nova Scotia, a period she remembered fondly and would later idealize in her writing."

Looking for Old Onatrio
Why is this bridge, built 150 or so years ago, at the corner of MacDonnell and Wellington wide enough for two rail lines? The answer to that question and thousands of other interesting facts about Guelph and the rest of Ontario can be found in Looking for Old Ontario by Thomas McIlwraith. Fascinating stuff: why does Ontario have more brick houses than anywhere else? Why are most of these storey and a half rather than two storey buildings? After reading this book any journey through the Ontario landscape becomes a living history.
Highly recommended.
