At least 17 Pathfinders turned out for the semi-annual cleanup along Lakeshore Rd between Third and Fourth Line. It was productive in many   ways. 

Bill not only organized the event -- again --
but also pitched right in to collect roadside "treasures."

Margaret found some burdock

Beware the burdock!

Ann found quite a haul in the woods.

We left this as found -- in case neighbors might need
phone service (!?)

Cookies by Joyce -- a wonderful treat by a special Pathfinder

Recents rains have the creeks and rivers at their max levels.

At the end of the hike we had some hikers take a short cut back
while the main group finished at 6.3 km.

Despite the forecast of more rain, 7 hikers came out for today's hike.

And has been the case for most of the year, the meteorologist was wrong. We started in sunshine and the rain didn't start until we finished. Thanks for exploring with me today.  Ann
