Getting Boring I know but it was another fine sunny day, albeit after a good night of rain.
We were taken by our hosts to the Beaver Boardwalk where we met up with Ed and Bruce. The Boardwalk is about a 3 mile boarded walk round a beaver dam and into the forest. Rotary had sponsored the construction and the lumber was provided by the local lumber yard. We didn't get to see a beaver but by chance we met Rocky Morin who was one of the major volunteers, he was out doing some maintenance but spent the rest of the morning showing us squirrel dreys, bird nests bear marks and much more.
We went for coffee and checked up an Keith who is probably coming to the BBQ this evening.
Then we set off for Miette Hot Springs joined by Amanda, Dennis and Brenda's daughter who acted as additional tour guide and when we got to the springs she led the trek while those who were bathing went into the springs. The trek went up to the old hot pool which was closed down when the new springs were opened. Up past the old pool we saw, smelt and felt the spring water at 42 degrees.
We regrouped at 3pm for lunch then set back to Hinton to get ready for the BBQ and Anniversary celebrations at Brian's.
