Happy Hump Day! Is it still politically correct to call the middle of the work week that? Either way, we are all 1/2 way there; the weekend is in sight. Yahoo! It was a quiet morning in Trinidad and on the headland & beach. The trail footing is showing signs of wear & tear from …

To our dog Baxter’s dismay, today was a kayaking trip instead of a walking day. My friend Katrina and I headed to Big Lagoon and paddled up Maple Creek. We launched in the fog at 8:15 and paddled for 2 hrs and 15 min. True to fair weather nature, there were very few people out …
Today is a Monday and usually Mondays are quiet and low key but not today. The usual shift change between groups of tourists doesn’t seem to have happened. Because of Covid many people are staycationing or staying more regional rather than flying somewhere. These folks have discovered Trinidad. Local businesses are all a flutter with …
Congratulations, we’ve all made it thru another week and have the weekend to look forward to. Because my walk was delayed until afternoon I left our dog Baxter at home. He always gives me such a heart breaking and sad look once he realizes he is being left behind. It’s hard to take but necessary …

Baxter and I had a great walk on Trinidad Head this morning. There is a lot of activity on the headland...day and night. By the looks and quantity of all the scat I saw this week I suspect there are fox dens on the headland. The scat looks similar to what my husband and I …
Baxter and I had a peaceful walk on the headland this morning. I appreciate and enjoy how fog slows down visitors to the headland. It’s a perk for me but a missed opportunity for the fair weather hikers. The fog is actually quite beautiful and provides some great photo ops. If the parking lot was …
Baxter and I walked the headland this morning going in and out of fog. The fog later subsided and brought a beautiful day. No wind and lots of sunshine. This week is forecast to be a kayak lovers dream. Nice and flat on the bay. More people than usual on the trail today so I …
No matter which camp you reside in, COVID-19 and today’s political scene have created a tremendous amount of stress on all of us. In our household we add to the mix the unique personal challenges associated with a catastrophic illness. Not only do we shelter in place for community health purposes but we do so …
