Breadalbane trail

Start of the trail on route 231 in Breadalbane, we started at 10:30 and if we look cold it was because the temp was -14.

Trail was about a 4 km loop that went along the river and only one set on foot prints before us.

There were six that came for the hike, and here we are on one of the bridges that cross a creek that feeds the river. We were about 90 minutes doing the trail.

It was a sunny day with light wind, a low temp of -16.5 and a high of -7. 12 km on EB in morning. At 3:00 I went out on the skis for a hour, it was a really nice afternoon for skiing.
I will be watching the PEI vis Ont curling later this evening.
