Day eight of the festival was another sunny day for hikers who enjoyed Red Island Guide Hike today.  38 hikers explored the trail featuring Barachois River, Red Island & the ocean and MacDonald Pond.  Today’s hike featured three guides – Mary Ann Wilson, Bethsheila Kent and Marion Thompson and sweeps – Lisa Dixon,  Marie Stradeski and myself.  I was hoping for a pain-free day and it was looking quite good until I got stung by wasps 4 times. Seems somebody walked on their nest and I was the next person. I am ok.   A few pics below of the Red Island Hike.  Tonight’s evening presentation – “Wild Wonders of Diverse Landscapes by Marie Stradeski, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, well attend by hikers.
