Bruce Trail: Mt Nemo to King Road - Iroquoia complete!

You want me to go where?
May the odds be ever in my favour....

First long hike of the year.   I realized I still think my sweet spot is about 15k.  After that I start to have enough of it and just want to be done.   Felt slow today, but was more about stopping to take pics or interesting footing, because road-walk sections were fast and made up overall time.

This is what that crevice, where the trail from the pic above goes
between the trees and the rock, looks like when you get closer...

I had debated fleece-pants, knee brace, and winter jacket today.  I rejected all three.  The fleece-pants were a miss - it wasn't brutal without them but they would've made the hike more enjoyable.  The other two were no problem without.  Really relieved about the knee brace.  Pocket warmers for the win though - those made all the difference today!

LOVED the Mt Nemo section.  Don't think I'll ever feel the need to repeat the rest ;-P.  But as of today, Iroquoia is complete!!!

Shout out to Laura for being my trail angel today - both driving me from car drop off to start and being my safety checkin at end :)
