Neither rain, nor fog, nor the prospect of Halloween kept this dedicated band from their appointed hike. As it turned out, those who cancelled missed a beautiful outing that turned out not to be very wet after all.

There was a discussion in the IRCC parking lot about going to breakfast instead of hiking in the rain, but as usual, the weather cleared up for the hike.

| Checking out the Credit River |
A good turnout and an even better haul -- construction debris, marathon sign, etc., but few Tim Horton's cups and even fewer $10 bills!

 |
| Richard, Anita and Ann -- glad for the lack of wind! |
 |

| Our leader Jim introduces our sweep Ross. |
Yet another beautiful day for hiking. Which must have distracted the hikers from the photo 😉
The weather that caused the later hike to be cancelled apparently did not affect this hike, and the colors were spectacular.

Richard led a small but merry band through good color, and even managed to get a few pix -- a multi-tasker!

Thanksgiving 2022 -- It was a day to be thankful for: great color, good hiking with friends, perfect weather.

There was a good turnout today, including three new hikers -- June, Roy and Hubert. Welcome! Or, for some of you, welcome back! And welcome to the fall colors as well.
