Next Hike.

The next hike will be on Saturday, 3rd October.
We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.

Last week I was busy with an internet service project so could not go on the hike as usual.  I do know it was great weather to be out and about with a cool gusty wind blowing from the north and sunny all day long.  I was stuck on Mt. Pocahontas doing tower work and I believe the hikers were roaming around in the forest not so very far away.

My photo is from a hike we did early in September when we drove south on Bell Road and parked near First Lake.  From there we hiked on the very pleasant old now grassy logging road that heads southwest at first and then swings around to end on the west side of Plateau Mountain.  A steep trail climbs to a high viewpoint with views towards Denman and Hornby Islands with the Vancouver Island mountains beyond.
