Cool morning - about minus 3 degrees. Therefore, a brisk start to our walk, but the sun sure felt good as the morning progressed. Map and many photos below. -- DeNNis.
Parked cars on Deloume Road behind Tim Hortons (top right) and did a huge clockwise loop. I think the map is pretty self explanatory. |
It is definitely fall weather. |
The old stone bridge. |
Lots of "big foot" leaves this year. |
A few frozen puddles. |
Looking up stream from the bridge on Shawnigan- Mill Bay Rd. |
Just in case we should lose our way. |
Old wooden fence. |
Crossing the bridge near Wilkinson Rd. |
This old guy is always waiting to greet us as we go up Wilkinson Rd. |
We cross the highway by Petrocan and head down Church Way. |
Check out the headstones at the old church (now the Mill Bay and Bamberton Heritage Center). |
Many flights of stairs down to the creek. (Approximately 100 steps) |
The salmon are netted from the creek and put in holding tanks -- |
-- then sent up this railing in containers where they are hauled off to Shawnigan Creek. |
The highway above us. |
Not as large as past years. |
Coffee Time!! |
