15 members of the Courier de Bois Club embarked on a thrilling hike to Quirke Mine Site #2 where they were greeted by breathtaking views of Big Quirke Lake. The journey was not without its challenges, as the hikers encountered remarkably large swarms of deer and horseflies that seemed capable of whisking away a small child. Despite these obstacles, everyone enjoyed the adventure, relishing the opportunity for exercise and communing with nature. Thankfully, all participants returned to their vehicles unscathed, carrying with them memories of an enjoyable and invigorating hike.
