Caution: ticks

Waskahegan member Ron Robertson posted this warning on our Facebook Group:

***ATTENTION HIKERS AND DOG OWNERS***

I was out for a walk today along middle Coal Lake which is just east of Leduc. I saw a couple of young rabbits and was able to get some photo’s of the two of them. When I got home and looked at the photo’s the two rabbits are covered with Ticks!

If you’re a land owner or if you are in any public areas along the lake and are walking your dogs, check them over really well for ticks before you bring them into the house.

If you’re out for a walk or hike, check your clothing so that you don’t bring these nasty little bugs home with you!

Thanks, Ron for posting this warning.

Waskahegan Family Members Find Adventure on East Battle River

The guided hike last Sunday was at East Battle River and Rest and Be Thankful Hill, following the first Trail Maintenance of the season.

Just one day before the hike, Waskahegan member Ryan Mannear took advantage of the newly-cleared trail with his son.

Ryan reported back as follows:

Hey Guys,

I just hiked that section from highway 21 to Rest Hill.  My son and I just had to walk the ditch past the water and pop in on the north end of the valley 🙂
Saw 2 snakes, 8 Deer and a muskrat 🙂
