What?

Thanks!

They were able to determine the stones were placed there quite some time ago, so not set up by hippies or anyone recent. I believe they were able to come to that conclusion by looking at the lichen growth on the stones. I believe the best guess is that it was the late 1700s or early 1800s. The latest theory was that it was a sheep pen. That theory was largely debunked when archaeologists did an X-ray fluorescent scan and found no evidence of livestock ever being there. The odd part is that there are no records of anything being there despite meticulous record-keeping by the British.

Love the woodchip base! A nice little wilderness oasis.

Could have been, but recent soil analysis suggests no past use for animal husbandry. The mystery endures!

Such a fun ride. I went back and forth a few times. Even put my fear of heights aside to lean on the railing for some pics.

You said it. Those were exactly my thoughts at the time.

hahah good eye. I took a football off the tip of my finger & couldn't extend it anymore. All good now though! Good idea, I'd enjoy company from fellow creators who know all about having to stop every few minutes to try to get a decent shot! If you're on Twitter that may be the best way to communicate with me (@halifaxtrails). I might start tweeting out plans in advance for anyone who wants to join me.

Sorry for the late response and thanks for the feedback! My guide has a link live water level monitoring of the river as well as whatever tips I can offer you: www.halifaxtrails.ca/st-marys-river/

Hi Mark, I went in from Colins Rd. I've yet to check out the Brookline entrance, but hope to soon. This particular trip was mainly to explore the brook. Enjoy your group hike, they're a lucky crew to have the best BMBCL guide possible!

Absolutely is. And accessible with a short hike from civilization. Halifax is blessed to have places like this. Thanks!

💯 agreed. Thanks!

Glad it looks that way. It is. :)

💯 Agreed.

Thank you! It's indeed a lovely place. You'll have to visit some time :)

Beautiful place for sure. There's actually quite a few different aspects to the park that warrant multiple visits. Part of why it's so great. Thanks for the comment :)

Weather is a frame of mind 😉 There's always an aspect of beauty unique to each season. But I do love Spring! Hope you enjoy your visit!

It was my first visit in recent memory, long overdue also. Hope you and Otis enjoy!

I'm not sure if I did. If its along the route on my map here, then yes: www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1zJdowT-hsDQ2JvDhHU9Q1aqIujvIZRSm&usp=sharing .You're the one who told me about that a while back aren't you? Sorry if so, I totally forgot about that until just now!

Yep, I did an interview with CBC

Lots of memories doing this trip as well. One of the most incredible sunsets I've ever seen in my life on Frozen Ocean. The owls, the peacefulness, the worthwhile struggles of portaging and paddling through wind and waves on Kejimkujik Lake. All happy memories for life. Glad it brought back some good ones for you too! Thanks for commenting.

I created it for my guide.

🙏 Thanks.

Thank you! The location is absolutely epic, so I'm glad I was able to have some of that come through in the vid :)

The rails-to-trails are awesome whether for commuting or for fun. I wish there was some kind of shuttle that ran up and down and take you back from Lunenburg or wherever, instead of always having to backtrack or take 2 cars.
