SOMEWHERE AROUND PORRIDGE LAKE 2022 11 28

 We were 17 hikers this sunny, icy morning. Three veteran hikers were welcomed back after a long absence from our hikes.


Our trail began at the Esten Drive North entrance to the Porridge Lake Trail. 

We checked out the snowdump and saw where there are good places to scavenge discarded garden periennials. 

The chickadees, nuthatches and squirrels welcomed us and were quite pleased to accept peanuts that we placed on rocks along the trail. Not sure if any bird took sunflower seeds  or peanuts directly from anyone's hand. 

Our group stopped briefly at the picnic table on the Porridge Lake Trail.  There is a campfire circle that has been used . A frying pan and a pair of tongs were proof.

On our return no one seemed too impressed with seeing the Elliot Lake version of Stonehenge!  Go figure!

In any case we enjoyed the outing and each other's company.
