We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last Saturday we had a lovely summer day for our hike. We drove along Bell Rd to the Hydro East tunoff, then left again along the road that goes down to Russ Creek, parking at roadside gravel pit not too far along. The air was warm especially in the open recently planted areas, but the open areas also offered a pleasant cooling breeze and in the sections with forest shade it was comfortable as well. Our destination was Dragonfly Lake and the small low bluff at the north end was just perfect for lunch. The trail along the eastern shore of the lake was mostly in good shape, but the last part was partially blocked by a few windfalls. We did a little cutting on the way in and again going out making it quite nice for next time.
A few bright yellow flowers of waterlily dotted the water near the lunch spot and one made a good subject for my weekly photo.
