We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10.00am
Last week we drove south to Eagle Creek and then turned left parking part way up the hill towards Thompson Road. The destination was Balanced Rock Lake and the route does have some pretty steep uphill sections, but it was a pleasant day, a bit on the cool side and we made good progress. Lunch was enjoyed sitting close to the balanced rock high above the calm water. On the way back we did some exploring of the long clearcut that parallels our narrow trail through the forest and decided afterwards that it was easier to walk the clearcut than fighting past several fallen trees on the original route. Once down to Thompson Road we turned right and then left getting down to the parked vehicles on different logging roads to the one we used in the morning.

Hiking down from Balanced Rock Lake through a replanted clearcut towards Thompson Road.
The islands off the north-west end of Lasqueti are visible in the distance.
