A total of 16 hikers turned out for this pleasant hike-turned-walking-sauna bath. It was a true summer day, with humidity to spare. Judy did a nice job herding her cats down to Lk Ontario and back. We encountered a group of 18 Probus members out for a stroll, but were not successful in recruiting any. Nor did we lose any.😉
It was a perfect summer day for winding up July's hikes: 20C to start and not a cloud to be seen. (f there had been the more normal cloud cover, there would be fewer shadows on the faces below, but maybe also fewer smiles.)
Seventeen hikers turned out to join Richard on a double-barrelled hike: (1) Shannon Creek to start, with Richard doing an admirable job hiking the usual route clockwise and thus "backwards;" (2) nearing the end of this loop, about half the group took up his offer to descend the East Bank to 16-Mile Creek. The catch: they had to come back up.😁And so they did, making for a fine morning for all. How nice to have the choice!
On Saturday, six Pathfinders signed up for a Bruce Trail Conservancy hike with Ruth in Grimsby Beach to see the 'Painted Ladies' and learn a bit about the area, it's start as a Methodist camp in the 1850's to amusement park in the early 1900's to quiet cottage neighbourhood from local historian, John.
Can you spot the Pathfinders?

| Just one of the many brightly painted gingerbread cottages |

| There were lots of quirky decorations and beautiful gardens |
It was another warm one with temperatures in the mid 20's feeling like low 30's!!
Twelve hikers joined Nancy on this extra long Bronte Creek hike.
