| Its time to follow this mysterious sign post at the side of West Saanich road and Wallace Drive... |
We have lived near West Saanich Road for almost 5 years. I probably first noticed this sign 2 years ago. If you look for it, it is just at the corner of West Saanich and Wallace. There is a Canada Post mail centre there within a larger parking lot. Many cyclist and hikers use this spot to park and unload their gear for a country workout. If you park here head just across West Saanich and walk up the cut into the trees at the signpost.
We thought that we would get to a lookout point but in truth this trail just led straight up the hill into an area of future housing. It was a fun hike and a beautiful fall day. I liked the feeling of throwing caution to the wind and hiking to see where a trail goes. This represents the first time we have done such a thing for
a hike.

This is our last week in Victoria because we are heading to Illinois for our son's October 16 wedding. We are extremely excited to be traveling back to the midwest to see family and taking this project on the road. So we don't know where our next hike will find us and that in itself is pretty exciting.

| We think this is an ancient root cellar. It looked as if there is an opening on the far side but it is so overgrown with brambles we couldn't get near. |
