Nine people came out to hike the 8+ kilometer hike along South Saunders Lake.

At the outset we were greeted by a herd of curious cattle. In the distance we saw an eagle circling. It was being chased by crows.

Looking down, we nearly stepped on a couple of “very nice mice with pretty ears and faces” as the rhyme says.

At the end of the hike, we enjoyed more of Sherry’s apples, this time in the form of an apple cake.

Thanks to everyone who came out to hike, to trail maintenance for their outstanding work on maintaining this trail, and to the landowners for their continuing permission. You can find more photos on Flickr.

Twelve people came out on a warm, sunny day to hike the trail along Saunders Lake starting at the north end. The total hike distance was 8.5 km.

In the four days since trail maintenance came through, strong winds had blown down a large tree across the path. It took some effort to clear it away.

We saw many ducks on the lake. And on the path we saw many piles of wood chips left by the beavers.

The new stiles we added in June look sturdy and beautiful.

Thank you to everyone who came out, to trail maintenance for their outstanding work on clearing the trail, and to the landowners for their continued permission. You can find more photos on Flickr.
