We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am
Last week we drove up to the Hydro Reactor Station road and parked where it is intersected by the gas pipeline right of way. The weather was near perfect for hiking and we set off following the winding roads that hea west mostly under the Hydro lines, up at first then quite steeply down to Thompson Road. Our destination was Mystery Lake which lies on a side road to Thompson and the lunch spot a lovely spot with a small clearing on the banks of the lake at it's north end.
The return to the vehicles followed a shorter route that follows old logging roads on the north side of the power lines. This does have a fairly steep climb through a large clearcut, but after that the terrain is undulating, part open and partly in forest and connects to the gasline not far from where we had parked.
My photo is of one of a couple of Garter Snake that we saw enjoying the warm sunny day very close to the shoreline of the lake.
