Next Hike

The next hike will be on Boxing Day, 26th December.
We meet at Gillies Bay Ballpark at 10:00.

Last week we hiked into Big Dragonfly Lake through a large area of recently logged and replanted forest. Around the lake the forest is still standing and we had just a small mossy bank to sit on at the water's edge. The trail to the far end of the lake still needs a little cleaning so that we can sit next time on the low bluff where the water is deep enough for swimming. That should make a nice destination for a warm summer day.

For my photo this week I picked an older one that really suits this holiday season — a view of Gillies Bay on a winters day when the snow was still fresh on the tree branches.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas.
