Wow, 20 hikers today for our Trailblazer hike into the One Hundred Acre Woods.
It was a bit grey looking for our start today at Marine Park.
We connected with the Interurban Green way trail system and walked towards Fairhaven Park.
The trail was in pretty good condition, only a few muddy places. I had hiked this area once before in 2012 with the Trailblazers (click here to read that post) and it was quite wet & muddy that day.
As you look at the photo below, which trail would you take - the one to the left or the one to the right?
If you chose the left, you chose wisely.
That's just what we did :-)
There were a lot of Holly trees amongst the Cedar and Douglas fir in the forest.
The best part of the day......we spotted our first Trillium of the year.
Our fearless leader "Pat", didn't want us to be caught in a downpour so he led us out of the forest and back on to the Interurban trail to make our escape while it was still fairly pleasant out.
We ate our lunch in a civilized manner, at real Picnic tables. Hurray!
There were several tables to choose from, so we broke up into groups and enjoyed our lunches before heading back to our cars.
It was a light drizzle at this point, just enough for us to need our coats and hats.
Excellent decision, fearless leader :-)
