Devon Trails Hike: And Suddenly It’s Winter

by

On today’s hike, nine of us descended on the bank of the North Saskatchewan river to take in the walk from the boat launch to the Lions Campground. It was a good test of our winter gear. Some of us determined that we will have to get mittens over gloves, better footwear, and thicker socks before the real winter comes.

Much of the trail was a wonderland. Snow piled on leaves that were still attached to the trees made for fun game I call “Let’s Make a Blizzard.”

At the campground, the residents were preparing for a Thanksgiving event. And in the spirit of Thanksgiving, they allowed us to come in and warm up around the magnificent fire.

Trail Building Improvements

by

On a cold Wednesday morning the crew was glad to keep moving just to keep warm! We started with Miquelon Lake A84 at the end of Rabbit Run road working on the nearby boardwalk. We built another 8ft & 10 ft section and with the 4 sections from last time we spliced it all on to the existing 5 section boardwalk.  Along with the ramp at one end we now have 12 sections over that boggy wet area and we are done! 008011016

We then moved on to Kopp Lake A35 side to replace the first stile; 029

settled an argument between a tree and the cart full of wood for the bridge;  020

and replaced the first bridge with a wider longer one. 021

We then carried the old bridge to a wet area on the trail further on. Although there still is more wet areas along that first section, most can be walked around.

We ended the day at McDonald’s in Leduc with coffee and ice cream or  muffins.
