Every time we’ve been on a trail, we have hoped to encounter wild animals. Maybe not a black bear, but something larger than a chipmunk at least. And all this time, we were a bit surprised that we’ve spotted nothing. Our guess was that they sensed our presence. During hiking season especially, we run into many people.
This time, we heard something!!
While we were observing some holes on a tree, a sudden thundering noise frightened us! It was very close, about 10 feet away, yet we saw nothing but the shaking of branches and dust. After the fact, we realized it must’ve been a deer. The sound was like horse hooves pounding the dirt, but we had never experienced it so loudly. We felt a little cheated out of a chance to see wildlife, especially since it was so close, and we were busy looking at nothing. Nonetheless, it was memorable and we were stoked the whole way up the mountain thinking that wildlife is never far away.
This is our first time crossing a stream. Pretty fun!!

Looks like a lot of fun except the crossing the stream bit. Won't you shoes and socks be too wet for the rest of the hike?
We got ourselves a pair of hiking shoe, which is water-proof. hehe...
You really don't have to be on a trail to see deer. CityTV reported two days ago that two deer were found wandering the streets near Gledhill -- a street away from where poorclam lives. The news clip actually showed the two deer in someone's backyard. Maybe you could try hiking in East York next time you are here :)
