Elsie points out The "Lost Fork" in the road!

Who knew?? There is now a "lower Brook Trail" and an "Upper" HIGHHHHH Mountain Trail!

Once committed we just kept on going up and up and UP!

Arriving at Hilltop Drive for a well deserved lunch with our great host Kathi & Phil Rice. Unfortunately this may be our last trip to Hilltop Drive as THE HOME is now on the market. What a splendid view down into the Margaree Valley.

Kathi & Phil will always be special friends of the CB Island Hoppers no matter where they or we go in the near future.

May the wind always be at your back! And may you meet many new friends along the trail!
