One days walk from Kingston to Griggstown Lock was not enough, so we decided to continue on Friday starting from Griggstown Lock and following the trail north until we came to the first Spillover sign and mile marker seen from both sides as I trailed Suzanne and Jane and then got ahead of them

before we came to a stone spillover with documentation and then a blockage in the road that reminded us of the acacia branches for lions

before the next mile marker after which we followed trail

and noted mile marker and elegant scenery

that led to the pictures of Jane and Suzanne before I came across the ducks on the pond and then marched on and took the first reflection picture as we came across yet another mile marker (sign of progress) and then took many artistic photos of the scenery (where sometimes you wonder if the camera was upside down because the reflection was so good)

and then we resumed the trail

because we could see the goal (Blackwell Mills Road) in sight and acknowledge our progress with a few more photos as Suzanne appeared and we recorded the road signage and the mill's canal house with all of its signage and schedule before starting back on the trail and recording mile markers and the canal and trail as yet another mile marker and then the trail obstruction

did not deter Suzanne as we recorded the spill over spot while crossing the stone path to another mile marker and then Jane and Suzanne spotted this snake in the middle of the road as we made our way back to the Griggstown Causeway and recorded the house the bridge the historic village and house once more before reading the interesting story about the millstones two of which were still there and then it was back to the trail and the final mile marker before we got to the end of the line

and at the canal duplicated photos from our trip north as we read the warnings and revisited the map that had started us on today's trail.

On the way back, we stopped in Kingston, parked by Charlie Brown's and made our way past the shop with this interesting sign into Main Street where we got various foods including the potato salad (ideal for breakfast) and soup as Suzanne and Jane enjoyed the meal and I worried about my sun glasses which seem to fall off often.

On our way home, we picked Ben up at school but had to wait for this crossing guard. We're ready to attack the trail again and make our way fully from the D to the R.
