My second hike, as hike leader, a beautiful day, 5 members joined me to Little Quirke Lake. We accessed the lake on the loop Quirke Mine Site 1 area. We didn't make it to the lake, but instead we took a trail that branched off the trail, and into an old mine pit area. Beyond that were 2 beaver ponds with dams. Fred knew the area and showed us where there was evidence of a tunnel in the rocks that drew water from the mine area. The trail was in need of clearing. We then continued our hike regular trail. We had lunch over looking Quirke Mine site 1. Then it was back to the srtart and we headed Tim's. Scott Helman.
