Good Bye September!

 

September Is Almost Over

On this almost last day of September we decided to take our favorite hike along the eastern shoreline of Campobello Island. 

The weather was at its finest, deep blue skies and a breeze from the south would be perfect.

Now, the trail has a name, it's called the SUNSWEEP TRAIL.

So what is "SUNSWEEP?"
It is a three-part art project made by David Barr and it symbolizes the sweep of the sun, rising here in the east and setting out west.

SUNSWEEP at Point Roberts, WA

All three parts are made out of the same slab of Canadian black granite. As mentioned, part #1 is located right here on Campobello on an eastern promontory right at the Bay of Fundy. Part #2 consisting of 2 wedge-formed stones, is located on American Point Island at the Lake of the Woods in Minnesota and finally Part #3 is placed at Boundary Bluff at Point Roberts,WA

Now that you know , what SUNSWEEP is all about, let's go for a hike.

The trail starts from Liberty Point, which is the southern most spot on the island. It's an easy hiking trail with small bridges, wooden stairs and planks over uneven or wet parts of the trail. And at a length of only 1km (0.6miles) it is the shortest trail in the Roosevelt Park. 

But it's the most scenic trail as well. 

The sunny afternoon brought out the wonderful scent of balsam firs mixed with the salty smell from the beach on the outside.

Dixie, often times being rather lazy, showed real interest in sniffing along the trail, sticking her nose into the grassy and mossy ground.

Reaching our destination, we sat down on flat rocks letting our gaze wander over this extremely beautiful rugged coast line. Sunsweep is a point which will make you happy. Your daily concerns will leave you for the time being. You will clear your mind and get immersed into a natural beauty so pristine and original.

The wind had picked up speed, and even though the hike had been rather warm, we were now getting cooled down. 

On our way back to the parking lot we met an American couple, and as it often is the case, we had a friendly chat with these strangers.

Of course, we have been at Sunsweep many times earlier, but it will always been a place we want to return to.
