Breeze, Wheeze, Trees, Geese, Tease, Unease

All photos taken on April 28, 2022. Our sense of timing for a walk to the lake was a bit off. The paths leading to the lake were busy and the High School Outdoor Ed. class were receiving canoe instructions. We were surprised the school instructors was not more cognizant that it was water bird

Connecting the Dots

All photos taken on April 28, 2022. With Bunchberry Meadows still closed and the newness of Prospectors Point, we opted to do a “completer” walk today.

Saving Steps

All photos taken April 21, 2022. We enjoyed the walk from Prospector’s Point, through the Imrie Property and along River View so much last week, we decided to do it again this week, but skip the 346 steps up and the 346 steps back down at the far East end. It was another stellar day.

Prospectors Point

All photos taken on April 13, 2022. With Bunchberry Meadows closed for 7 weeks and Tucker’s Field still thawing out, we thought we would give this place another look. If the trail petered out at the top of the river bank, we could always walk the Devonian Trail to Tuckers Field. This spot is indicated

Tucker Trek

All photos taken on April 6, 2022. It had been a long time since the November 29/21 Nitpicker incident (see post here) and this was the first time we had returned to hike in Tucker’s Field. We were left with little choice this week, due to the spring closure of Bunchberry Meadows. To continue reading,

Battle Stations

All photos taken during our 4.6 km (3 mile) walk to Four Seasons Park and back. The forecast had been calling for rain and a rain/snow mix, starting at 4:00 PM yesterday, but not much of that appeared. However, the promised NW winds gusting to 50 k/h (31 m/h) did appear and had been howling
