This mild Monday with a brisk South East wind, nine nimble people began a short but challenging hike from the Moose Lodge to Horne Lake Island. A short distance ,but, as Shakespeare said " She be little, but she be fierce!"
The return trek was 4,5 k.m. The fresh snow provided a scenic but, sinister cover for patches of glare ice, roots, rocks and missing boards on the boardwalks.
All in all, our nine nimble ninjas 
stayed upright as we stealthily climbed up and down and around obstacles... for the most part!
At least 4 of us decided to slide 
down in a most dignified fashion, one particularly icy slope. Others navigated a less precipitous path.

A great way to start the day!
