Iroquoia Km 67.6 to Km 78.8 - 10 March, 2016

This section from where the Bruce Trail crosses Snake Road at km 67.6 to the junction

 of the Fisher Access Trail at km 78.8.

It had rained during the night but when our troup of intrepid, and blindly optimistic, 
hikers left the John Colborne Centre the rain had stopped and the temp was a balmy 9C.

Today's hikers; Steve; Christine; Anita; John G; Helgy; Karen, our leader; Andy; Case 

and John Nourse at the back of the class. 

In a light drizzle we followed an old road allowance to the edge of the 

Grindstone Creek Valley. 

The rain began to get a bit heavier until we gave in and finally stopped 

for an equipment adjustment. 

Crossing the bridge over Grindstone Creek. 

We follow the creek upstream and finally quit trying to sidestep the muddy spots. 

The Trail crosses unstable valley slopes and eventually reaches steps leading to a 

switch back and then opens up into the Smokey Hollow Parkette. Still raining. 

The hardy Winter Aconite likes the rain and Andy knows his horticultuure.

Still raining ..... 

Humm maybe I should have worn my gaiters. 

And back at the car ........???
Andy said he felt like he had spent the last couple of hours mud wrestling.
