During the night a chilly northerly wind came up blowing straight into Lion's Head bay causing the lake water to lap quite loudly against the stony shore and making the ducks and geese bob up and down on the water. Although the sky is clear, the wind is cool.
Our plan today is to revisit the walk along the top of the escarpment to the lion's head and hopefully find it this time.

After a usually late breakfast we drove to the parking lot at the start of the Lion's Head part of the extensive Bruce Trail which goes all the way from Niagara of Tobemorey, and walked for about half an hour through the trees, past the view point where we turned back last time. Along the way was a rock formation caused by weathering called a pothole. This small chimney like cave was made by melt waters from glaciers during the end of the last ice age which swirled around and carved out these circular caves. (See photo below of the "Bottomless Pit, where the bottom has collapsed down the cliff face as well as the photos far below)
Eventually we came across the Lion' Head view point. it was a large, flat rock promontory with a 180 degree view of Georgian Bay from the camp site beach to well into the lake which disappears over the horizon.

Later in the afternoon we went for a walk on the lake side of the small craft marina and saw waves rolling up onto the beach blown in by the strong winds
