After yesterday’s rain we were treated to a bright sunny Sunday for our
final cross-island hike in this series. We drove to yesterday’s finishing point
and parked where route 10 crosses the trail. Within just twenty minutes we were
strolling through the Bridge Park at Borden-Carleton and passing the Visitor
Centre, plaques, information boards and all the other paraphernalia of a
Provincial entry/exit point.
The wind was howling and several times I dashed back to retrieve my cap.
With a fairly short hike for today, we had plenty of time to wander around and
I photographed artefacts left over from the railway era. We climbed the stairs
inside the model ferry and stood on the upper deck gazing out over a
mercury-grey sea. Not surprisingly, with closure of the Atlantic Travel Bubble,
traffic on the Confederation Bridge was very light.
We left the Bridge behind and walked back to the trail. Soon we were
back at the car and congratulating ourselves on completing this long central stretch of
the Confederation Trail, from Charlottetown to Borden-Carleton. We’ll come up
with more adventures for next year!
