Ministik Trail Clearing

Eleven came out to clear the Ministik Lake trail from Spilstead Access to just past Horseshoe Lake. This is one of the longer sections for trail maintenance because there is no exit point along the way. We pushed the predator 5 km in and 5 km out.

We also used chainsaws to clear deadfall and clippers to clear branches, and we replaced many faded signs.
This tree has a huge shelf fungus that we’ll be sure to point out on the hike on Sunday.

The lunch break was well-deserved. There are more photos on Flickr.

Miquelon South Hike

Fourteen hikers came out on this moody day to hike the trail up to and around Miquelon Lake #2.

This hike has three parts:

pasture with cows at the edge of the woodsa grassy meadow dotted with islands of trees…
Miquelon Lake with shore birds

…the lake shore…

…and an old road through the woods that is enchanting with its overgrowth.
