Next Hike

The next hike will be on Saturday, 13th February.

We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.

Last week we drove north along the HIgh Road, turned off onto the Pocahontas Bay Rd. and drove the short distance to the start of the Fire Lookout Trail.  Here the hikers decided to split into two groups and do two different hikes for a change.  The smaller group walked down to Pocahontas Bay where they sat in the sun at the waterside for lunch.  The second group took the uphill trail and headed for the lunchspot and viewpoint on the bluff some distance to the east of the Fire Lookout peak.  After lunch this group decided to investigate a lower viewpoint at the end of a short trail that I had flagged several years ago before the higher one was discoved. In exploring around the lower viewpoint we discoved that the highpoint where Hydro have a large metal microwave reflector offered a much better viewpoint than the one we had been using for many years!  My photo this week shows the view east from that newly discovered bluff.
