Next Hike

The next hike will be on Saturday, 19th May.
We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.

Last week we drove over to Pocahontas Bay and south on the the old Pocahontas Main logging road parking just before Russ Creek.  From there we hiked south on the spur road that heads down the east side of Texada and reached the very end of the road only a few metres above sea level, but still in the forest.  I had hoped the road would end right at the beach, but it turned out that there was a thick tangle of mainly evergreen huck between the end of the road and the two pocket beaches that we had seen on Google Earth. Perhaps on another day we will bring some tools along and cut a trail to the beach and have lunch sitting on the beach logs in the sun. 
I took today's photo through a gap in the forest about half way up the long steady climb back to the parking place.
