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. |
