We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am
Last Saturday was cool and cloudy and I decided to take the small group of hikers along a trail I had cleaned up and reflagged just a few days earlier. Starting out from the ballpark on foot we headed up School Road and climbed the steep hill on the old logging road that leads to Cap Sheaf Lake. Not far past the third fork in the road fresh pink flagging marks the start of an old trail that runs north along the mostly forest covered bluffs. The trail is uneven in places where the sheet of moss covering the ground is hiding some loose angular boulders. The trail ends where it comes out of the forest onto a fairly open grassy bluff overlooking Gillies Bay.
Near the start of the trail we crossed a tiny stream running from pool to pool with attractive miniature waterfalls and lined with small moss covered boulders. At one of these the splashing water had frozen onto some twigs and gave me a rather attractive picture.
