Interesting new trail along the Rat Lake power line for the 8 of us to trek the 6Km. Next week plan is Baldy Mountain. -- Brook
=========================
Great day for a walk to Rat Lake -- but a slight change of plan on the way as shown in the map below. Weather was perfect and coffee at the Shawnigan Coffee House was a great finish. -- DeNNis.
 |
| Parked at the end of Gibbs Place (off of Deloume Rd in the Fern Ridge area). Up the trail past the water tower to the Bamberton Haul Rd. Carried on a ways past the Rat Lake trail and followed a logging road up to the Hydro Powerline. |
 |
| Just in case we couldn't find the power line! |
 |
| The trail stretches out before us. |
 |
| Daisies to beautify our journey. |
 |
| Time for a little rest. |
 |
| We are not alone - Mom and baby Elk are just ahead of us. |
 |
| Foxgloves are abundant. |
 |
The limb on this tree is
unique.
|
 |
| I took the high road while the rest took the low road. |
 |
| This Foxglove is just about finished. |
 |
More wildlife. These deer were far ahead of us hence the
poor picture quality.
|
 |
| Future power poles. |
 |
| Salmon berries -- very sweet and tasty. |
