A Wonderful Walk with New Friends
Our walk at Canoe Lake on Sunday the 16 of May, has proved to be one of our most favorite events.
Starting off,the weather was over cast and a light sprinkle of rain that soon gave way to periods of sunshine and a pleasant day for a walk in the country.
Our walk leader for this event was Elsie Buck while Joe and Bill Followed in the rear keeping a close eye on the 31 participants.
Canoe Lake Road/Trail is rated at 2B, some moderate hill climbing and a well groomed trail, which winds its way past several small lakes including Canoe Lake.
Two years ago our friend Nip Hillier constructed a sign showing the location of the old Canoe Lake school house, surprisingly the sign is still in place and in excellent shape.
We were joined by five (hopefully) new walkers for this walk event and some old friends (four) rejoined us as well.
If you missed this walk you will have a second chance, as this is one of the walks that the Celtic Colours WALKS Committee selected for the fall colours event on the 10th of October at 2:00pm.
There will be a new stamp issued for this event and the guide will be Carol Butts.
