Hendrie Valley President's Hike, Thu 24 September 2026, 8:45

 There was a good turnout for this annual hike, despite the fact that many of the regulars had just returned from 3 days in Parry Sound. We even had several new members and first-timers. Did they come for the exercise, the companionship, or the cuisine? Likely it was all three!

 Richard did a fine job of leading this eager crew, until ...

 

... a handful opted out of the hills and just enjoyed the lower valley. 

 

 

The full crew of 22 pose for the customary bridge shot before breaking up into 2 groups. 

 

Grindstone Creek was in its early autumn glory -- complete with salmon. 

President Kathy lays out the feast. 

A picnic is not complete without some wildlife.
