Ian and I keep going back and forth about November's hike.

At first we wanted to take everyone out to Parkinson Creek access to the Wanda Fuka Trail (ha ha). This is such a beautiful spot. The trail isn't too long and then the walk along the rock beach (not pebbles but bedrock and Sheldon's favourite...conglomerate rock) is amazing.

If the weather has been dry in the days before and the day of, this is a great option. I fear that it will be really slippery if it has been raining in the couple days before the hike, though.

The Maple Mountain hike was cancelled in September so that is still an option. I have heard from so many people that Maple Mountain is beautiful and we all love Maple Bay so maybe this is a good option as an alternative. Forests are great for keeping us dry...and beaches are great on the sunny dry days.

Date: November 30
Place: Serious Coffee at Westshore Mall
Time: 8:30AM meeting and 9:00AM leaving

Please let us know if you have anything to add. I will post on the blog.

Sunday, October 19: Rod's Hike

Let's all meet at Serious (Westshore) around 8 am, with a plan to head out at 9:00.

Rod has a great hike planned for us. I hear rumours of Lester B. Pearson College, an observatory and a waterfall, the skeleton of a grey whale, and a mysterious path called the Barde Knockie trail.

Pack your raincoat and a snack. Friends and dogs are always welcome.

Sept 21 hike to Maple Mountain

I think we're going to postpone Maple Mountain. There aren't many people around for this hike, and Dave isn't feeling well.

(Sorry Carol.)
