That's Child's Play

Running the Komoka trail today again, with camera in hand, I made a brilliant discovery a half kilometre farther than I went yesterday -- a waterfall!! Well... little rivulets and some dams, but still super-cool. I jumped through some mud puddles like a small child, then washed them off in the falls, clambering over dams and fallen logs to the little pools. How did the VFFs stand up to water? A little squishy feeling at first, and the water was ice-cold, but I didn't feel timid of sticking my feet into the silt and guck at the bottom because I knew they were protected.

As for drying time, the neoprene was mostly dry by the time I had run back to the car. I had the shoes off for a half hour, then on again for an hour, and when I got home again they were 95% dry except the tips of the toes. Nice. One day soon I'll try washing them in the machines (says you can in the instructions)

Talked a hiker on the trails today into trying them out for his shin splints. Yay me!

Here's those pics I promised of the lovely fall colours... I really had a hard time selecting just the best of the hundred or so I took....

Yep.. that's one heck of a climb and an even deadlier descent at high speed!

Splash!

Hikers are certainly going to wonder about these.... Bigfoot?

And this is why you get KSOs... to keep stuff out...

After a good day's work!
