42 Hares and 5 Turtles boarded the yellow school bus from York Mills and the Islington Beer Store with Bernie our accommodating driver at the wheel.
Tonie can be seen practicing her Tai Chi outside of the Beer Store while waiting for the bus.
An uneventful ride traffic wise brought us to Forks of the Credit Parking Lot with Merel the first Senior Student to alight on a cool but dry day
Standing around while the toilets are given a work out
Ann & I led the Hares on a short but demanding hike while Merel led the Turtles on a trip around Kettle Lake
Kettle Lake
The two Runners
Still standing
Taking the Trans Canada Trail
"If you go down in the woods today"
Surprise!
Is this the Forks of the Credit?
Looking towards Cataract Falls
On the Ruins Trail
The start of the dreaded 165 steps
Plucking up courage
Taking it step by step
How much further?
Nearly at the top
Time for breather
Taking the Bruce Side Trail
Preparing to descend into the valley
Watch your step
The Credit River Valley
The peaceful lunch spot
Daisy's tree. A spot she occupies when visiting for the past 30 years!
Arch rivals!
Jacqueline sporting a colourful cap
Far from the madding crowd
Off we go
Climbing back up
Taking the Meadow Trail
Golden Rod and Milk Weed
Perfect place to do a bit of "Scrumping"
At the finishing line
Our almost resident Sweep and Counter. Good on ya'
After dropping off the Islington folks Bernie kindly drove a dozen drinkers to the watering hole before heading off to York Mills
Wishing Merel a Happy Birthday
