SUMMARY:Hike Committee Meeting (ZOOM Web Meeting)
DESCRIPTION:Hike leaders and any members who are interested in hike schedule or trail maintenance planning are getting together for a ZOOM meeting to develop the 2024 Spring-Summer (early May to early November) weekly hike schedule and associated train maintenance schedule. \n\n\n\n\nJoin Meeting\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAlready Scheduled\n\n\n\nFor April 2024 to March 2025 there will be ~40 hikes. The focus of the Hike Committee Meeting being mid-April to the end of October and the coordination of trail maintenance. That puts us at 27 hikes and we have already tentatively filled 15 so 12 still needed: \n\n\n\n\nApril 21st – South Saunders Lake – A33 to A30 (JoAnne B. & Lee S.)\n\n\n\nApril 28th – Battle River – Duhamel Campground to RB Hill (Mary M.)\n\n\n\nMay 5th – Ministik – A87 to Horseshoe Lake (Helen W.)\n\n\n\nMay 12th – Kopp Lake (John S.)\n\n\n\nMay 19th –  Pipestone Creek – A49 to A51+ (JoAnne B. & Lee S.)\n\n\n\nMay 26th (Tentative) – North Miquelon A85 (Miquelon Park) to St. FX Lookout & Members Social (Anita P\, JoAnne B & Lee S)\n\n\n\nJune 2nd –  Pipestone Creek – A53 to A51 (John S.)\n\n\n\nJuly 14th – Stoney Creek (Elizabeth B.)\n\n\n\nJuly 21st – Fort Ethier (John S.)\n\n\n\nJuly 28th – Stoney Creek/Happy Valley (Irene M.)\n\n\n\nSeptember 1st (Tentative) – Battle River (Duhamel Campground to Fidler’s Monument) (Elizabeth B.)\n\n\n\nSeptember 8th – Ministik Berg/Nature Conservancy Trails (Delaney S.)\n\n\n\nSeptember 15th – Miquelon Provincial Park (Irene M.)\n\n\n\nOctober 20th – Battle River – Duhamel Campground to RB Hill (Mary M.)\n\n\n\nOctober 27th (Tentative) – Wanison Stopover & Members Social (Anita P\, JoAnne B & Lee S)\n\n\n\n\nNote:  \n\n\n\n\n‘Tentative’ means just confirming the date\n\n\n\nno hike Thanksgiving weekend\n\n\n\nbiweekly winter hikes for November to April 2025 do not require maintenance to can be addressed later in the season\n\n\n\nTrail Maintenance is expected to start about May 29th\n\nmaintenance for the April 21st to June 2nd hikes was done in the fall of 2023\n\n\n\nideally many of the August to October hikes will be able to go again in the spring of 2025 without maintenance\n\n\n\n\n\nHikes that have not been done recently that we should consider –\n\nNorthland Coal Lake to Mud Lake – 2 hikes (~1.1km overlap from A39 to ‘B’)\n\nCoal Lake Boat Launch (A40)  to ‘B’ past A39 – includes “Source of the Blackmud”\n\n\n\nCloverlawn (A39) to Mud Lake (past A38) – includes “Stan’s Bench”\n\n\n\n\n\nBattle River Schnee Hill – 2 hikes\n\nA60 to Schnee Hill – should to be later in the season as trail crosses a field that typically gets harvested in mid-September\n\n\n\nA57 to Schnee Hill\n\n\n\n\n\nHastings Lake – 2 hikes\n\nEast Hastings (A91) to Mottet Hill\n\n\n\nNorth Hastings (A97) to St Margarets Church – includes the “Allen Nature Walk”\n\n\n\n\n\nPartridge Hill/Ross Creek (A111 to A109)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHike Planning \n\n\n\nTo help with our planning we will use a file of past hikes. Choose one of these versions depending on which spreadsheet software you use (these are the files from the March 2023 Hike Committee Meeting\, they will be updated prior to the March 2024 meeting): \n\n\n\n\nHike_Planning_2024.xlsx (Microsoft Excel)\n\n\n\nApple Numbers (Macintosh\, iPhone\, iPad)\n\n\n\nOpenDocument Spreadsheet (Apache OpenOffice\, LibreOffice)\n\n\n\n\nAlternatively\, you can download the PDFs of the spreadsheet’s 2 tabs: \n\n\n\n\nBy Week\n\n\n\nBy Hike\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe file has two tabs of the hike information: \n\n\n\nBy Week\n\n\n\nThis is the list of hikes\, by Guide Book page number. The columns on the right of “2023” show what the hike was in previous years. \n\n\n\nBy Hike\n\n\n\nThis is the list of hikes\, a by Guide Book page number. The columns on the right show when the hike was previously held and the name of the hike leader. Some hikes have been done with variations and these are noted.  \n\n\n\nContact\n\n\n\nIf you have any questions or comments about the hike schedule\, let Lee know at hikes@waskahegantrail.ca

SUMMARY:Stoney Creek - Happy Valley Trail (Camrose) - Canceled due to icy conditions
DESCRIPTION:Canceled due to icy conditions:  due to the recent thaw/freeze conditions when Irene & the gang from Camrose scouted the trail this week they found it to icy (even with spikes) to hike it safely so we are canceling this weeks hike (updated 2024-03-16\, 03:00MT) \nThe Happy Valley Trails are now setup for winter biking\, snowshoeing\, hiking. Hopefully this will make up for the weather impacting both Stoney Creek hikes during the summer of 2023. Pictures from March 19th\, 2023  \nWe’ll meet at the trail head on on Valleyview Drive\, Camrose (plug 2403 Valleyview Drive into your GPS & the trail head is next to it) at 10:15 a.m. and the hike will leave from at 10:30.  \nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information. For further information specific to this hike\, refer to The Waskahegan Trail Guide Book\, pages 56-57\, or contact the Hike Leader\, Irene M. at 780-679-2218. \n\n\nHere are the stories of previous hikes: \n\n\n\n\nMarch 2023

SUMMARY:Alfred Savage Centre\, Snow Valley & John Nature Centre
DESCRIPTION:Note: Due to some construction on the trail just past the Snow Valley Ski Chalet we have had to make a slight alteration to the hike: \n\n\n\n\nwe will now be meeting at the Alfred Savage Centre Parking Lot (parking lot off Fox Drive\, at the Whitemud Park exit\, going to the bottom of the hill & taking the turn to go under Fox Drive)\n\n\n\nwe will still be meeting in the parking lot at about 10:15 a.m.  with the hike leaving at 10:30\n\n\n\nstarting from the Alfred Savage end the trail has a junction that will bypass the construction\n\n\n\nthe trail throughout is snow-packed and where the sun shines there are quite a number of slippery spots so it is highly recommend to have trax/ice picks or at least poles\n\n\n\nthe pictures from November 6th\, 2022\n\n\n\n\nWe’ll meet at the Whitemud Park Parking Lot (parking lot just before you go under the Whitemud Drive overpass towards the Snow Valley ski chalet) at about 10:15 a.m. The hike will leave from the parking lot at 10:30. The pictures from November 6th\, 2022. \n\n\n\nIf you are new to WTA hikes\, then you should visit the Guided Hikes webpage for essential information. For further information specific to this hike\, refer to The Waskahegan Trail Guide Book\, page 14-15\, or contact the Hike Leader\, John S. \n\n\n\nHere are the write-ups from previous hikes on this section: \n\n\n\n\nNovember 2022\n\n\n\nDecember 2019\n\n\n\nDecember 2018\n\n\n\nNovember 2016
