Our hikers today:  Bill, Sandra, Arpi, Rhonda, Brian, Karen, Mike, Richard (in the back), Marlene, Ron, Fran, Annette and Isaac (behind the camera)

It was great hiking day made even better by the scenery.  The ice from the ice storm of a few days ago was still evident on the trees and bushes.

Iroquoia - Guelph Line (83.5 km) to Grindstone Falls (72.4 km) - Feb. 7th, 2019


The weather was cool and threatening when we started off on our 11 km hike.  Richard joined us from Arizona for the hike along with the usual suspects, Sandra, Karen, Marleen, Brian, Arpi, Isaac, and Michael along with Steve the photographer for the day.

We passed an interesting hollow tree as we started the hike but it wouldn't be our last on this hike.

Our first creek crossing required some contemplation before executing.

Success at least for most of us.

One last descent/ascent before we entered some fields.

The mist by Fishers Pond was somewhat eerie.


Elevensies on some prepared log benches.

Another hollow tree but no gnome hiding this time.

The last descent to the Falls and the cars.
