Many may agree that the Sawmill Trail is a gleaming jewel in that crown. This two kilometre walk features a range of historical and natural points of interest. According to Dave Gillians, a representative of the BRVTA, "When we first developed the Sawmill cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week231ssue48/tabid/299/Default.aspx 8/11 5/27/2019 Week 23 Issue 48 In the early 1840s, a dam for a grist mill and bridge were buit in the river and the pattern of stones from the dam can still be seen from a vantage point along the trail today. Trail, Jane Davidson, a local naturalist who has hiked all over the world, came up to me and exclaimed, 'You fellows have no idea what you have unearthed! This trail combines many different species of plants including some relatively rare flowers. Although it's only about an hours walk, it is exceptional because of its natural diversity."' The trail is rich with history — it leads to the first ford on the river. It is believed that this crossing was used for centuries before European settlers came to this area. In the early 1840s a dam for a grist mill and a bridge were built in the river. Visitors can still see the pattern of stones indicating where the dam was located. "Word is spreading about this little gem beyond Huron County. We are receiving enquiries from hiking groups from other areas who are interested in finding out what the fuss is about," said Gillians. The trail's degree of difficulty is moderate, Lewis' Heartbreak Hill being the only hill to climb is found at the beginning and end of the loop, but ample benches have been supplied for anyone needing to rest on the way. Trail signs denoting the history of the area as well as the telltale signs of abundant wildlife enhance the hiking experience.

Hikers enjoy a late afternoon trek around the trail loop on the afternoon of May 11. A familiar view but from a different angle - the east side of the Bayfield Bridge can be seen along the trail; a good portion of the path parallels the river. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week231ssue48/tabid/299/Default.aspx 9/11 5/27/2019 Week 23 Issue 48 The Sawmill Tail combines many different species of plants including some relatively rare flowers.

Ah, a lazy Sunday afternoon, if you are in the tourist industry in Bayfield you know that such an entity is truly a rare and beautiful thing. So what did I do with this bastion of solitude? I watched the final season of 24 in its entirety with only a few washroom and snack breaks to keep me both comfortable and fortified. I'm a fan who doesn't thrill in the anticipation of what happens next. I must know what happens next. So I tape all the episodes and I impose news black -outs on myself throughout the season because I don't want someone else telling me what happens next. And then when the conditions are perfect I watch, no, I attempt to breathe through each episode. What I loved about 24 was its unpredictability. Very few of the actors signed long term contracts with the show — anyone and everyone was expendable, let's face it, even Shirley Douglas, had she ever been invited to do a cameo on the program would probably have met an untimely demise. So as Sunday turned to early Monday morning, the eighth and final season of 24 came to a close in my real time. Loyal viewers were treated to an end they dared not wish for — Jack Bauer lived and the only other character who remained on camera for all eight seasons, Chloe O'Brien, was the one to wish him well. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek231ssue48/tabid/299/Default.aspx 10/11 5/27/2019 Week 23 Issue 48 I will miss 24. Every season I watched I noted with a touch of pride that one name that appeared amongst the credits was a familiar one. Brad Turner, a native of Bayfield, was an executive producer of the show and directed many of its episodes. To him, as well as the cast and crew of the program, I say thank you for the ground breaking entertainment you provided fans like me; in a world filled with predictable serial dramas it will stand the test of time. - Mclody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
