An Odyssey

Although underfoot was sloppy and
slippery, we were careful to watch where
we stepped. Once again, the scenery
caught us off guard.


Beyond the well-traveled roads of the
area is the history of an era in its quiet
repose. The very first Welland Canal
was part of that scene, hidden by brush
and overgrowth and quietly reminding
one of a much earlier time. Huge rocks
cut from the local rock to form the
walls of the canal were amazing. Stone
overpasses beginning to break away and
an old steel bridge standing silent in a
now wasteland is a monument to a
previous era..


As we continued, a jolt brought us
back to the present, as we exited
out of the woods to a path which
skirted a beautiful, lush, green golf
course. Todays world rejoined!
