Though he lives in the Wolfville area he leads hikes all over the place. I'll let you know if I see any on the South Shore ... BTW have you walked at Duncan's Cove or Polly's Cove (the latter is next to Peggy's Cove) Sybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944601364218561984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221281884226879638.post-17700834775803289972015-12-21T21:54:32.366-04:002015-12-21T21:54:32.366-04:00Whoops, make that Scotian Hiker and web site.

I'll have to check out the Scotia Hiker's FB page and see if he has any hikes happening in this area.<br /><br />The cabin is very sweet :-) I was told there there used to be some cabins around here that hikers could use for resting, eating, and even sleeping. I've seen one of them, although it's not used anymore.K&B by the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05581765778332754970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221281884226879638.post-79591444967308573452015-12-03T10:54:54.218-04:002015-12-03T10:54:54.218-04:00Well you've got me pegged right Linda.

I'm a chatty sort so have no problem striking up conversations. I would never go on a hike of that length or uncertainty on my own so in that way I'm comfortable with the numbers. The leader said that was the largest group of dogs he'd had on a hike. No barking. No problems. Yes. I thought those HUGE hinges were quite wonderful. None of the shots of the inside of the cabin turned out. Clearly it IS used from time to time.Sybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944601364218561984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221281884226879638.post-4448645269197240572015-12-03T10:06:39.618-04:002015-12-03T10:06:39.618-04:00Good for you, Sybil!

But I almost always enjoy myself when I do pull myself together enough to join a like-minded group. That did look like a very large group of hikers, though. I get a little frazzled with groups larger than 5 or 6. Partly it's because I so enjoy the quiet of hiking, which is hard to appreciate in the midst of a crowd. I loved seeing all those happy dog tails. The hinges on that cabin are really amazing.Linda Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435037469311412473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221281884226879638.post-56221012452569733002015-12-02T20:17:48.022-04:002015-12-02T20:17:48.022-04:00I think it winter it is used by snowmobilers or sk...I think it winter it is used by snowmobilers or skiers. There was a rather broken looking wood stove inside and a ladder to a loft area. It looks like it was someone's home ...
