Cranky & Lost

            I was very cranky today.  K and I took a ride to Dorion to find a pinnacle. I only recently found out what a pinnacle was. It's a tall skinny rock structure. It's supposed to be super neat. We were told to follow an orange-marked trail and when we got there on this scorching day, we couldn't find it. K took her SUV up this road and I honestly thought we weren't going to make it. These rocks going up this hill are terrible. It's sketchy and steep. Anyway, determined to find this pinnacle on the side of a cliff we walked up and down the road and it was the most tiring experience (mentally & physically).

I was getting frustrated. Finally, we changed our minds. We found a new destination nearby. Wolf River Falls! Although all I did was whine and complain on the ride to the falls, it ended up being so majestic. I need to go back for a picnic!!!!!

This experience is never EVER forgotten and we will never stop bringing up how cranky I was this day. One of my most memorable days. I was also late for work today because I forgot what time I worked at! OOPS

Note: We went back to the original pinnacle the next weekend. A TBayTel worker was up at the parking spot. He looked at us funny but we continued our journey. Walking with a compass and map, we had no clue where we were going. There is no marked trail here. We heard a bang noise in the bush that had random repeating intervals and I said  "Hello?" and no one answered. This noise was so unnatural we had to turn around and have never gone back since. Guys, I'm seriously telling the truth when I say: I have never been more terrified in my life.

Echo

                After hours of research, K and I decided to visit a tunnel we found online. It was just past Kakabeka. After hours of searching, we couldn't find it. Pissed off, we turned around and went home.

We returned the next weekend extremely determined to get to this tunnel. We took my car this time. I don't remember the exact directions to this tunnel but the road isn't too bad. Having passed the tunnel the first time, we were on steep sharp rocks in a small township.
We finally found the tunnel and really embraced it. It was huge!!!!!!
So worth the trip! This tunnel is quite popular but we were unaware of it at the time. This was my very first tunnel and would go back in a heartbeat! It is truly amazing.


This tunnel used to be where a train passed through until the tracks were removed. This is Flett Tunnel.
