Picton's Millenium Trail between Picton & Bloomfield.
On 2nd Thought, if this is what I have to look forward to...
Tim and Nick say there is 100 km. like this on the last 100 km. to St. John's, Nfld., but I am hoping that it has been upgraded since their trip. Unfortunately, Prince Edward County's hasn't been.
Today I have a cough, a cold, a sore throat, and a pain.
A real pain in the butt, with this bitterly cold winter weather and gray skies.
I can dress warmly, but being sickish is something one just has to wait out.
My friend, Jo-Anne, suggested that for the tickle throat and coughing, I mix one spoonful of (cider) vinegar with an inch or two of hot water and gargle it for a bit, then swallow. The vinegar is supposed to be anti-bacterial. I did, I gagged, and I stopped coughing for a few hours.
My friend, Lucas, said in Holland they did that with lemon and sugar. Sugar coats & soothes, so I ate some Dutch candies, too, earlier.
Now I'm coughing again.
I hope when I get on the trail, I don't become obsessed.
Why? Should I get sick, I must give myself permission to take the day off and lie in the sun. Sunshine is also a curative. Too cold to lie in the sun, though.
However, on a day like today, I wonder what in the world I am doing this for?
Well, I love to travel. Hope I still do when the trip is over.
Have a good one, and keep healthy.

I also heard that a glass of warm/hot water and 3-4 drops of tobasco sauce (or other hot sauce) gargled can be good for a cold. If it is hot enough to make you sweat it can sweat some of the sickness out...
I guess you're cold is probably gone by now... but you could keep it in mind for next time.
You’re friend Luke (you mean the man that you used and threw away) Karen the worst person to come in contact with. !!!!
