Hikers:Andy, Bill, Steve Our Leader, Stefan and behind the camera Richard (recording Secretary)
Back in 2007 this was my first Pathfinders E to E hike with my late great hike mentors Dick Moyse and Eldon Spurrell.
We start at the north end of Blue Mountain's ski runs and are soon over to the Craigleith Ski Club lifts.
Once past Craigleith and into Alpine ski club territory we encounter a series of steep valleys and stream crossings.
Climbing to a lookout over Georgian Bay its one more valley
to the deck kindly provided by Georgian Peaks Ski Club.
Elevensies!

A last vestige of winter thanks to modern snowmaking.
After some walking in the forest its up and down and cross a stream again!
At the top of this hill we find more left over snow, this time courtesy of Mother Nature and drifts over a NE facing slope.
A walk in the spring woods, the greenest green are the wild leeks.
Another waterfall?
Flowerpot.
One last bridge.
Andy and sweep Stefan cross the last bridge.
Cars were found and another night in the fleshpots of Collingwood ensued.
