Champlain Lookout this morning. 5 degrees, but such a strong wind that it was difficult to hold on to the camera!! Ridge Road was deserted for the early part of our run, but by 10:30 flocks of hikers, mountain bikers, runners and leaf watchers were arriving. There are flashes of leaf colour left, especially oaks, and enticing views into the woods. It is also very muddy after the heavy rain of the past week.
