Duncan's Trails Sept 10, 2012

Today was the day chosen to view the work that has been done lately [actually over the last many years] on the deactivated logging roads above Kagan Bay. It is wonderful that a few individuals have put in so much thought, time and energy into "trail work" by making connecting trails to make loops, to clear paths, and to share.

Since yesterday we have been having periodic thundershowers and just plain showers ... so several hikers called with apologies and some just didn't show up ... so we filled one car and took off as the sun was shinning and skies looked fine -

5 of us went out to view some new trail heads, and with maps in hand we viewed 4 separate trails on either sides of the Honna .... after checking them out we headed down to the Dry-land Sort and headed up the inlet to the first part of the beach loop,

then into the woods ... "big stumps and little mushrooms!"

didn't get too far when the most prepared Fall hiker had his knife out and was harvesting chantrelles. Short hike through the woods and onto the lowest deactivated road heading east to complete the loop.

By the time we were done many photos had been taken by our newest member, [welcome Wayne] the chantrelle bag was looking quite full and even a few shaggy manes were collected, and home by 4:00! Yes it was mostly sunny but a little shower hit us as we walked back to Kagan Bay ... not a problem!

We will definitely be back on that trail and exploring the new ones.  Many thanks to D/JW.
