We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last week we drove south to park on the gas line right of way at the cathodic protection station near First Lake. Taking the main road south the short distance to the driveway that used to be part of the Mouat Bay logging company's main haul road we stopped to check if the trout were spawning in the creek. No sign of them, but the gravels and the water flow look to be perfect for them just there, a spot they have been known to use in the past. At the sharp curve in the road we forked left and headed uphill towards Third Lake. This old logging road is now covered by moss and grass and and looks very attractive as it slowly reverts to forest again.
The trail to the top of Plateau Mt. is steep and rough in places, but once the more or less flat and forest covered top is reached walking in any direction is quite easy. The day remained dry and sunny as we ate lunch at one of the various viewpoints — this one looking west towards Vancouver Island.
