On the side of a road near a forested area in Ajax, Ontario.

Participants

Frogman

Expedition

I got up at the early hour of noon and left the house by 2. After a fairly uneventful drive, I stopped at a trailhead near a dog park. I could have drove all the way to the hashpoint, but it was a fine day for a walk! Many people were out with their dogs or bikes.

The trail went parallel to the road for a while, and then branched off into a forested area with a lot of lakes. It seemed to be some sort of river delta, draining into Lake Ontario. Eventually the trail met up with the road again. The hashpoint was between the sidewalk and the road, near a memorial tree.

After getting to the hashpoint, I walked down to Lake Ontario (it was so close!) via Rotary Park. I sat on a bench overlooking the shoreline, doing some homework.

One could barely see the CN tower from the park.
