Grand adventures start with simple resolutions. And so it (happen) one day that Melanie Vogel decided to walk alone from one end of Canada to other.
She'd read about the Trans Canada Trail, the longest recreational trail network in the world, in a magazine in the public library. She felt restless in Toronto, a big city the concrete ground didn't breathe, the buildings closed in on her, and everyone was so very, very busy.
On June 2, 2017, she took her first official step in the fog at Cape Spear, the most easterly point in Newfoundland. If she made it to Victoria, (follow) the northern route, she would become the first woman (hike) the Trans Canada Trail to all three oceans.
The trail is not all easy walks through smooth, wooded paths. Ms. Vogel hiked forests ， wheat fields, scorching sun, snow and hailstorms, along the Trans-Canada Highway around Lake Superior, up to Tuktoyaktuk in the Northwest Territories, and over the Rocky Mountains. She encountered the best kind of people, and the (bad) kind of man, and the latter frightened her more than the (wolf). She (trap) in the Yukon by a pandemic lockdown. by then, she was no longer alone; she had fallen, unexpectedly, in love!
