Men's Walking Group

Twelve of us walked about 6 Km today down beyond the end of Briarwood Road.  We turned around at a point where we would not have an extremely long walk back to the cars.  Map and photos below.  --  DeNNis.

We parked near the beginning of Briarwood Rd (left) and proceeded down the trail beyond, to the point shown at the top right of the map, then returned via Briarwood Crescent.
.

Of course we had to check out the clear cut before we
 left the Legion. 

Once we got onto Briarwood we
were being watched.  Got
the shot too late to get the
spots.

Checked out Briarwood Park on the way.

Very little water in the creek.

These guys took over the watch further down Briarwood.

A unique mail box.

A woodpecker with a red head (??)

The trail through the forest begins.

Over an elevated bridge --

-- as there is lots of water in this area.

Obviously there have been lots of  "Busy
Beavers" in this area.

Up a few short stairways.

The decision is made to turn back at this point or we will
have a very long walk back to the cars.

There is some very tall
grass in places here.

Back across the bridge.

Some of  Mother Natures art work.

A retro mail box.

Don checks out a concrete penguin(?)

More deer in the neighborhood.

Coffee at the Shawnigan Coffee House.

Some new art work up on the walls.

Not this guy.

But this one.
