The excitement builds as we wait for today's unique leader, Tony Arislen, at the Toronto Botanical Gardens
Rene shops during the wait
And here's the man himself
Do we need Icers?
Tony explains the trail issues due to some closures that we may encounter
Tony points the way!
Off we go with Rene counting which adds up to 47 participants
Heading down into the Park
Soon to be turned around with a trail closure
Back up to the TBG
Winter in the Gardens
Passing by the TBG as we head to Lawrence Avenue West
Look over there!
It's a Baby Racoon
A frozen Wilket Creek
Water break at the Bridal Path
A few of the modest homes along the Bridal Path
Including this 40,000 sq ft mega monster home of Drake currently under construction. When completed it will include a basketball court, pool, spa, gym and a 10 car garage!
I like this one
No we are not house hunting
Leaving how the other half live and entering into the woods of Wilket Creek park
Checking to make sure we are on the right track
Monica alone in a winter wonderland
Stepping down into Sunnybrook Park
Toilets at the crossroads of Sunnybrook, Wilket Creek and E.T Seton Parks
Ducking under the railway bridge in E.T. Seton Park
Today's Everyday Hero
The long climb to street level
The welcome lunch spot at the Ontario Science Centre
Feeding our faces
No time to smile
Love my sunglasses
Good to the core
Mustering the troops including Dorit & Rok who joined the group after lunch
Pausing in the park at a drop out spot
Crossing the bridge into Serena Gundy Park
"Snow Queens"
The final hill to climb as we reach the road leading to the Pub
Such a wonderful group
Turtles on the Trail
22 folks say cheers and thank you to Tony at Shoeless Joes
Despite the the trail challenges of the day everyone enjoyed Tony's hike. Thankfully he had his 1976 Street Map of Toronto to guides us to our destination. Thanks also to Kevin for Sweeping again and to the flue recovering Rene for the count
