Sat, Jun 23 2007 - Hike - Osler Bluffs & Relax at Spa (View Original Event Details)
|  |
It was an eventful day! Everyone showed up and to my surprise was able to keep up with my speeding spirit - even at the end when I was allegedly seen running, hoping, and skipping through our path.
The Hike: Every time I do this hike, it is always a different adventure. We parked our cars near the Osler Side Trail at the top of the hill and then hiked on 2nd Line over towards Petun Side Trail. Although I do not recall any snakes on the trail this time, we did run across a dead carcass that laid in our path towards our picnic area (next to a nearby lake off the Pretty River Side Trial).
The trails are well marked (minus the bike trails) and the group was a happy one. After the work out, we headed towards the spa.
The Spa: Once at the spa, every one took off and quickly found their favourite spots. We were able to soak off our days work and for some of us, enjoy a message =P Definitely a worthwhile visit.
Thank you guys for helping me continue my traditional hike and spa! Too bad I could not say good-bye to some of you in person, as this event is my final hosting event with the TOC as I will be moving out west once again. I want to personally thank you all for coming out and joining me in closing my chapter with the TOC; it has been a pleasure in meeting you all. Should any of you wish to become volunteers and / or wish to take over my tradition of hike & spa, let me know, I will be more than willing to share with you my experiences.
