cobourg walk


distancecanada website, no estimates for travel by foot.
several days there and back by foot, to cobourg ontario from downtown toronto. sleeping by the side of the road and under a bridge, bathing in streams, may or june of 1991. it was a pleasant birthday gift.
taking roads to the north of the four o one then to the south, through town after town, asparagus and strawberry farms, the abandoned military intelligence camp where they trained agents during world war two. given water at a strange house where a black women was taking care of a half dozen kids or more, and then on to cobourg, the ontario town with capital city pretensions.
