We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last week we did the annual one-way hike from Van Anda to Raven Bay for the beach BBQ and potluck lunch. The expected rain never materialised and climbing the hills along the way kept us quite warm. We took a route from the Legion on logging roads at first and then the trail that circles Turtle Lake on the west side passing through a rare section of old growth forest. This took us onto the old mine railway track bed close to the Cornell Mine and staying away from the High Road wwe climbed through the clearcut up to the gasline right of way. Walking the gasline is always more interesting than being on the gravel road and we kept to it as far as we could until a new fence pushed us back to the High Road at the top of the hill down to Slow Farm junction.
