Duncans Cove

Alright, back to good times in the Maritimes. Last week I went for a wonderful hike in Duncan's Cove. Duncan's Cove is located just past Sambro, essentially get on Hearing Cove rd and keep going. (https://maps.google.ca/maps?rlz=&q=duncans%20cove%20halifax&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&sa=N&tab=wl)
This is Duncan's Cove rd, and the giant parking lot that can be used by hikers. 
After walking down Gannet Ln, go over or around this high security gate

then enter the woods by this pole, and your in! aight see ya later have a good hike... jk I took some pics that'll make you say, well that's neat. 

walking along Gannet Ln, before the trail. 

So we took a different way then I think most ppl take. The good thing is its next to impossible to get lost, even with no trail markers. There are lots of little foot path options, but be careful some are veryyyy muddy. 

Sandwich break

WWII bunker, saaawweetttt. 
WWII bunker and a sandwich, sawweetterrr

Watch Rock, keeping the coast safe. 
splash!

Rock-o-rama 

Postcard! tell me this is not a postcard pic!

 The trail can get pretty vertical if you drop into the coves, there are ways to avoid doing this if  you're not up for the challenge. Some rocks are loose and would be a death trap if wet, so remember what I always say, don't die.
you also run along some steep drops (watch your step)

You can see the second of the Bunkers, that's the turn around point. (oh yeah, The Hike isn't a loop)


looking a lil tropical
lots of coast line...
I've run out of things to say about the coast line...  its nice, you should go.
take the highroad or the low road, your pick #CoastLine. 
 chillin in a crevahsss

there is a lighthouse out there #CoastLine

creepy house, human centipede? (prolly preying on lonely hikers :s)

Fun Hike, close to Halifax. About 5-8 km long, depending on the path you choose to take (we did about 5.7km in 2.5hrs, lots of pictures and sandwiches). The terrain is quite technical, and can turn into some moments of climbing/ bouldering. make sure you got proper footwear, waterproof would be helpful, the place is a mud hole at the beginning.

Happy Hiking kids

Grand Prix (the useless stuff)

Sooo the Lotus booth kinda dropped the ball Friday morn. We got Kimi's head on Grosjean's body aha. We informed the girl and she fixed it. (we pretty much saved the GP)
Dayum I need to get on this guys level. 

There is absolutely no point to this post, other than I took too many photos and did too many silly things to not share them with the internet. So have a scroll and maybe a lol? 

I didnt mention this in the useful info post but, other than the Formula 1 class we had, Ferrari Challenge, 
(goin for the pass)

The Porsche GT3 Challenge Cup

 Formula 1600, these were mostly run by kids, so it was pretty entertaining to watch. 
oh look, there goes one now! vrum vrum
They also had the CTCC (just look in your driveway for what cars they ran)
ah! almost forgot the City Bus Cup. very competitive! nahh, im kiddin that doesnt exist. watching that thing take the hairpin was pretty sweet though. 

 took a walk around the island on Sunday, (the only day it didnt rain)
 so you can drink anywhere except while you gamble at the casino (weird rule)
Nice day for a picnic. orrrr not? 
Driver parade before the race.
Giedo van der Garde broke down in front of us, 
He was visibly upset. cheer up bud, no one expecting anything from you anyway.

Then we learned we could go on the track after the race! game over!

Here are all the cool ppl we met;
Tow truck crew

 Awesome Ferrari hat guy
 This guy
 Dr.Z got a free ride. 
Traded hats with that guy. 
 So I see this girl on the grass posing for a picture (so I thought sweet photo idea). Now watch me mock the hell outta her (total jerk). 

Here I go...
 wait for it....
here it comes... (great photog by Dr.Z)
 BOOM! (nailedddd it) 

some marshals enjoying a brew after a hard working weekend. 

a bus full of marshals. I needed to thank them for the great job they did all weekend. 
Hey Guys! Guys! lemme on the Bus! the reply,"you cant get on the bus." so I said, Oh im gettin on that bus.
 alllrightttttt, on the bus! (hilarious group of people.) 
Just watching the race. best seat in the house.
Tire guy. those things are a lot harder than you'd think
the 5km track walking was exhausting, needed another rest.


alright this post was completely useless I know. I promise to get back on track for the next one aha. If its not  useful I hope its a least entertaining aha. 

stay sexy
