"TORONTO - There's a rocky ledge near the north end of Ontario's long-distance Bruce Trail that has special significance for hikers Rick and Wendy Plume.
The Toronto couple have been there several times — 'it's a very beautiful, rugged' part of the trail, says Wendy, describing the bare outcrop high above the waters of Georgian Bay on the Bruce Peninsula.
Four years ago they stopped there to admire the panoramic view with their friend and hiking partner Norm Cornack. It turned out to be Norm's last hike. Shortly afterwards he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died within months on his 48th birthday."
