Description

A Wednesday Wander in the Woods event

  • A change to a new location since access to Hull Hill is not very good at this time (thanks to Peter for scouting it out)
  • We will do Bush Lake South instead
  • article – Bush Lake 2016
  • each event in the www@ series becomes a specific hike or snowshoe event, but the location will not be chosen until we see the snow conditions in the area
  • the actual details will be adjusted 5 – 10 days out from the event date and could be a moderate hike and could be a moderate snowshoe outing
  • either way we will get out for 1.5 to 2.5 hours
  • dress for the conditions
  • for snowshoeing events, members need appropriate boots, gaiters, reasonable snowshoes, and good gloves and headwear; poles are helpful
  • bring a pad to sit on so that when we stop for lunch, you will stay dry
  • bring a change of shoes and a bag for your snowy gear if you are carpooling
  • we will loosely stay together on the trails
  • we have snowshoed these trails for a number of years
  • here is one article on the trails – Hull Hill West
  • Sometimes it is difficult to drive to the trailhead and parking is very limited there so we may have to walk down the Goose Lake Road for 350m; drivers may want to carry a shovel to help get out of the parking area
  • I opened a few more spaces; we have several leaders so we can go out in 2 groups; I can stay with the slower group
  • watch the listing for updates
