It was a great day for a tough 7KM hike up to the Split Rock on Mount Tzouhalem. Next week will be road trip for a 10KM walk without hills around Elk/Beaver Lake followed by Lunch at the Crooked Goose Bistro on corner of Wilkinson & Interurban Road. --- Brook

Perfect weather for a little climb up to "Split Rock" on Mt Tzouhalem today. What more need I say? --- DeNNis.

| Parked cars at Providence Farm (top left). Stopped at the portable sawmill on the way back down for a little demonstration. This map also shows the trail to the Tzouhalem Cross. |

Arriving at Split Rock. It is easy to walk right past
as this large tree hides the split until you pass it.
|
 |
| You have to walk through single file. |
 |
| Just room for one pair of feet at a time. |
 |
| Looking through from the other side of the rock. |
 |
| Time to go back now that we are all together again. |
 |
| This rock looks like it could roll onto the path at any time. |
 |
| The trail UP must go back DOWN. |
 |
| The portable sawmill uses a band saw type blade. |
 |
The operator gives us a demonstration of the saw at work.
It makes a very clean straight cut. The wood comes from
trees that were blown down. Providence Farm will use the
lumber to make furniture, etc.

| Looks like a bumper Blackberry crop coming up. |
