We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last week we hiked past the Hydro Reactor Station [non-nuclear, just electrical] and found a new spot for lunch that has quite a panoramic view to the west. On an earlier hike near First Lake we saw a couple of the common Banana Slug that had unusual markings and one provided my photo of the week. For a long time I wondered why they have the common name they have and have just found out that in some parts of their range the usual colour is quite a bright yellow. In our area they tend to be greyish green with variable darker markings. This one was different in having quite a contrast between the light and dark areas of the body.
