I met a couple on The Trailway today and this was there first visit. Their comment, “This is a beautiful trail.”  The groomer had just gone over the trail and the snow was hard and made for good walking. I was hoping to meet my cross country ski friend as this would be a good day for skiing.

Most of the people I saw today were walking their dog. For some reason, there are a few who do not pick up their doggy doo.

I did see one person biking the trail. He had an off road bike so the trail was perfect for biking.

Below are a few photos that I took on the trail between Anchorage Rd and Dawson’s Run.

Conception Bay South has been my home town since 1958. That was the year we left Creston South, on The Burin Peninsula and moved to Manuel’s. A few memories from my teenage years include, swimming in the flats, walking Manuel’s River to Patty’s Pond, playing hockey on Squire’s Pond and Chamberlain’s Pond, playing softball and soccer with Manuel’s and the all star tournaments that we attended.

My first job was working at Ted Butler’s store. Ted carried everything that a general store would carry. We would receive written grocery orders and fill them on Thursday and Friday nights. Ted and I would have a snack of sliced ham, premium crackers, with mayo and Ted would have a bottle of Heineken and I would have a Pepsi or a Coke.
