SKI -
CONCESSION 3
Enjoyed a good ski with about a half dozen
local skiers from the Ganaraska Club through the county forest
bordering on concession 3 and the Bass Lake Sideroad. In spite of
recent heavy snowfall, conditions were excellent with plenty of base
and enough top snow to choose our own trail through the bush. A good
time was had by all with refreshments at the end.

CANOE - BIG EAST
RIVER
A group of nine canoes did the section
of the Big East River running south of Arrowhead Provincial Park and
over to Lake Veron. A sunny day, water high enough for good
whitewater, current fast enough for easy paddling and water just
right for swimming. A good time was had by all. Photos by Murry
Fenner.

HIKING -
MUSKOKA
A sunny day (unusual at this time of
year), a good group and an interesting trail over a rocky area just
south of the Gibson River in western Muskoka. A good workout enjoyed
by all.
SATURDAY, NOV

HIKE
- ORO-MEDONTE
Two good Saturdays in a row with a good
crowd the hiked from Oro-Medonte 11 right-of-way through hardwood and
pine bush, over hill and dale to come out at Line 5. A good day, a
good group and a good way to end the season.
SUNDAY, FEB
27/05
SKI-
ORO-MEDONTE TO BASS LAKE
Three skiers started from Oro-Medonte Line
8 along the Ganarask Trail down to Bass Lake and across. A good sunny
day with plenty of snow considering the year, two going all the way
to arrive to a warm fire in plenty of time for the bus.
