Victoria - our hike

We went on a huge hike up and down, through roots and climbing up stairs that had a 2 foot rise through the forest today. It took us 3 ½ hours to do 6 km. It was tiring, but great views. We walked through, extremely thick forest and the trail came out on the ocean. It was great. We also had mud up to our knees as it was muddy.

On Christmas day the Shebibs went on this hike and at the 2km mark Kirby broke her ankle. Mike made her a splint and she had to climb out on her hands and knees through the mud and Mike had to carry her. They thought they may have to spend the night, but they ended up getting out. It was unreal walking it today thinking that he carried her through this and she went through parts on her hands and knees, because he thought he would trip and fall with her through some of the heavily rooted parts. It was like no terrain in Ontario. Up and down, roots, mud, streams and rocks.
