Paul Echle/Horne Island, July 9, 2016

Commentary and photos by Astrid 
Another TBA hike, another five hikers!  This time we felt we'd stumbled upon the Elliot Lake version of the Amazing Race with no less than three detours.  First we took the ATV detour around the regular trail that had turned into a mudfest due to last night's rain.  That took us to the no longer in existence bridge behind No Frills!  So we backtracked, found another trail to No Frills, then had to detour around the Napa construction site!  Finally we were on our way to the Westner dam, Paul Echle trail and lastly Horne Island for lunch.  We had threatening clouds and high winds along the way, but not a drop of rain!  A very enjoyable outing.  PHOTOS
