It was a leisure hike until we detoured to Rainbow Ridge and back!  Good to be out among great company.

Slipper and Esten Lake Wrecks 2026 10 30

Slipper and Esten Lake Wrecks -  No rain so it was 6 hikers who wandered the hills looking at rusted, historic automobiles.  First to the "Valley of the Cars" then bushwack to the Slipper Lake lookout.  Then on to the "Pink Trail", newly marked, for a long slog to 3 wrecks.  Lunch was at Esten Beach and the sun was shining by then.  A bonus wreck was seen outside the day care centre on the way back so 10 wrecks in all.  The
remaining 2 wrecks will be a good excuse for a future hike.

Porridge Lake 2026 10 27

Thanks to all 14 hikers who came out for my inaugural first hike as hike leader. We travelled Porridge lake for 4kms in 1.5 hours. 

Thank you Dave for your support, and of course a box of Tim Bits for a sweet treat to start. As well as a brief lesson on the local Iron tree right on our trail.  Partly sunny, cool, fall day with the forest floor covered in leaves.

Snowshoe Trail 2026 10 26

Eight CdeB hikers (some new-to-me faces) set out to enjoy the Snowshoe Trail on a nippy morning under slightly overcast skies that promised some sunshine.

The trail was in great shape, although the leaves blanketing the ground did hide potential trip hazards and we all had to be mindful as we strolled along.  The Serpent River is still very low and geese were quite vocal, perhaps making plans for their trip south.  One grouse startled us with its wing/chest thumping but that was the extent of any wildlife activity.  Picked a few cranberries around the edges of the pond (for tasting and for muffins).

Largely uneventful but a pleasant hike on a beautiful trail sharing conversation and laughs.
