Nine eager hikers started off for an amazing hike. Seeing as it was Bellingham Bush it was a forgone conclusion that we would miss the turn for the mountain and have to back track. There were two leaders, both with their Gaia apps on and we still had to backtrack and then when we couldn’t find the turn we bushwhacked straight until we found it as we knew we would. Thanks to Louise for sweeping and for also leading when we made a new trail. Double duty for her! We had a snack break at tippy rock and then Renee led us on yet another loop, which the leader had never been on, but that took us on a trail behind Beckett Street, which made the whole hike 5 kms long. It should be noted as well, that only there were three falls but that none were serious. We also came across a pelvic saddle with an attached column that the spinal cord goes through of an animal. It was too large to be a rodent, so possible a fox of large raccoon or porcupine. It had no flesh or fur attached to it. Very interesting find. Great hike with very accommodating hikers.
