We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last week we were driving through a heavy rainshower on the way to the start of the hike at Hydro East and wondered if we would have a wet hike. However, by the time we reached the parking place the rain had eased and after hiking a little way the clouds cleared and we had nice conditions for the rest of the hike. We took the lovely old logging road going north from the site of the logging camp just south of the big fenced Hydro compound and for lunch branched off down a steep ATV trail that ends at the beach.
My photo this time is from our recent hike to a new viewpoint on Ladybug Bluffs. The ridge has steep rocky slopes on the east side, but the approach from the south is by good logging roads that are just overgrown in a few places and only moderately steep. The white building on the mainland in the upper left of my photo is an old hydro station fed by a massive penstock that can be seen from the main highway south of Powell River where it crosses a long bridge.
