Lots of rain last night but the weather cooperated with our walking group for today -- SUNSHINE. Six of us walked from behind Serious Coffee on Frayne Rd up to Rat Lake and return to Serious for coffee. Map and photos below. -- DeNNis.
Started behind Serious Coffee off of Frayne Rd (top left). Took a trail off Benko Rd and went in a large figure 8 over to Bamberton-Haul Rd, past Rat Lake, then down onto Frayne Rd. |
Up the trail off Benko Rd. |
Met a couple canine friends of Ed that wanted to join us. |
Lots of Salmon berries that were not quite ready for eating. |
Looks like a good crop of broom coming, too. |
Rat Lake is almost fully covered with Lily Pads. |
Yellow flowers |
And white. |
The trail along Rat Lake. |
Very little water in Handysen Creek. |
The bridge over Handysen Creek where it leaves Rat Lake. |
Just about back where we met the dogs. |
These Arbutus trees make a nice arch
over the trail.
