These shoes were made for walkin'…. Monthly Archives: November 2013. On Wednesday, October 9, just a little after noon, I walked out my front door in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, determined to walk all the way to Toronto, a trip of close to 500 miles. After 32 days of walking, with just one day of rest, I arrived at the home of my grandchildren in Toronto, on Saturday, November 9. This transformed the trip for me from a lonely adventure to a joyous stroll through the countryside with friends. It was co...

Day 25 | SP to TO

http://allanwilks.net/2013-11-02/day-25

These shoes were made for walkin'…. We left Brad and Carol’s house at 6:15 this morning so it was still dark as we said good-bye at the Dunkin Donuts pick-up/drop-off point. I was quite content to spend the next hour or so catching up on email using the DD wifi, and the DD staff saw no problem with me doing so.

These two wo...

These shoes were made for walkin'…. I’ve never understood why Nabisco doesn’t market Shreddies. In the USA. I grew up on Shreddies, a great breakfast cereal, and was delighted to have it as part of my breakfast this morning with Phil and Marilyn. Here they are at the drop-off point in Coronation Park a little later:. As I got started, I took a couple of pictures, one of the coastline of the lake:. And one looking over to the Toronto skyline:. And lots of color:. A glimpse of the lake:. And a custom fence:.

These shoes were made for walkin'…. I got an early start this morning, as witnessed by the shadow length:. The first half of my walk today was along Lakeshore Drive with vistas typically like this:. Punctuated by views down side streets like this:. The sun was in and out, resulting in some interesting sky effects, like the two views of this church, taken a minute apart:. I came across another ghost bike, fairly recent as I learned later:. After this commercial section I had some views of the lake:. Peter...

One of the several careers that Ed has had, his latest, is his heavy involvement in the Ontario Christian Gleaners. Ed was a fine companion as he is very fit, having hiked the entire Bruce Traile. And on our right was the lake, with the QEW between us and the lake. Here’s a view along the sidewalk we were traversing:.
