Awesome.

Keep on trucking.

That St Marys valley looks something else. Fishing, mountain biking, birds of prey galore i suspect. What a place to have a smoke. Keep on Moseying Mikal - thouroughly enjoyable.

Nice one

Hey MM,

 thanks again, so the trail was a rail before, aha ... Canadians... :-D^^

Cheers, Chris

[ManiacalMikal]

@Sargecon1 - hi, C - yes, the trail follows what used to be a train track between Kimberley & Cranbrook when the lead/zinc mine in Kimberley was active - since the mine shut down in 2001, people thought it would be great to have a pedestrian route between the towns and this was perfect - this type of use of old rail lines is becoming popular here in Canada as well as other places - bye4now, MM

[NorthGeorgiaPipe]

I like the video of course, but the little different versions of the bicycle built for two is awesome~

Cheers

[ManiacalMikal]

@NorthGeorgiaPipe - thanks, R, and thank YT (and a freeware audio recording program) for the varieties of 'Daisy Bell' - just about one version for each day of the month! ; ) - sweet smoke, eh - MM

[papasmeghead]

@Naturainfinity - thanks, D - you, too, eh - MM

[MrSmokeGuy]

Enjoying the tour. What brought you to Kimberley?

[papasmeghead]

@MrSmokeGuy - hey, MrS - thanks - initially, it was a '75 Dodge Colt stationwagon pulling a tiny UHaul trailer back in the summer of '80 - made it to Cranbrook - work took me the additional kilometers up 95A - plunked down roots and have decided to die here, whenever that happens (not too soon, hopefully) ; ) that's a partial 'gist' - save the rest for later - take care, eh! - MM

[MrSmokeGuy]

@papasmeghead New channel?

[papasmeghead]

@MrSmokeGuy - yes & no - the original one - MM's my pipe smoking alter-ego channel - when the ego acts up, of course ; ) - take care, eh! dPappy (my other personality)

[Acaciavet]

Thanks for the tour and the education.Vheers mate

[papasmeghead]

@Acaciavet - tour's easy, C - the education part ... well, be sure to take what I say with a box of salt, eh ; ) safe travels & sweet smoke - MM

[OneManSmoke]

What knife of good fishing they got in that there river pard? Nice to see you out and about again safe pedaling pard. That sure is a cool ride you got.

Salam

[papasmeghead]

@OneManSmoke - hey, S - living here in a flyfisher's paradise, you'd think I'd've tried it - nope - just can't stay still long enough for the activity - my fish comes cleaned & wrapped from the market ; ) I'll feature Max in a later segment - you'll wanna get one - hah! - tamp 'er light, eh - MM

[Flieger671]

Really enjoying this. It's like being there myself... without having to do the work. :-)

Seeing that bridge make me humming the tune from River Kwai. Onwards!

-Mike

[papasmeghead]

@Flieger671 - funny you should mention that tune, M - that kicked around in my head, too, when I first noticed the span - decided to stay with 'Daisey Bell' for the cycling motif - thanks for continuing along the journey - we've a way to go yet ; ) - bye4now, MM

[Milverton68]

Hi MM, After the Railways were ruined by Beeching mile upon mile of railway track was lifted.. But now they are doing something very similar here. When I was last in London i went on a mosey with a friend through south london on disusedtracks - it was great.. Top vid mate.. Cheers, Tim

[papasmeghead]

@Milverton68 - howdy, T - it's definitely a trend all over - removing rails and leaving trails - the ol' Iron Horse will probably make a comeback in future years, but for now, as they seem to go the way of the dinosaur, we're being granted access to some beautiful places - you into the new Doctor Who? - just curious - I have to watch episodes on YT since I haven't cable or satellite - got hooked on DW back in the '80s - an arf for the puppy, eh! - MM

[ContemplativePipe]

Beautiful scenery MM ... the journey continues ... Cheers!

[ManiacalMikal]

@ContemplativePipe - thanks, F - glad you're enjoying it - MM
