Sirje can't lead the Tunnel Lake trip but Ray can! Hi folks, I can do this trip on Saturday if there is interest. The plan would be to meet at Tunnel Lake Trading Post on Hwy 129 at 10:00. We wouldn't be able to tour the entire lake on a day trip, but should see much of it. Hope to see you there. Please respond if you still want to go. Call at 705-461-0037 or 705-943-6317 if you have any questions. Ray

Follow up from the depot trip...Sirje (pronounced Syria) says the trip was great - but the weather took an unexpected turn to miserable! Started out sunny and seemingly perfect, quickly turning grey just after departure and then rain progressing from sprinkling to heavy in a short time. By lunch, the rain was over and the sun was struggling to emerge. The temperature never did reach the anticipated high but we finished in sunshine, so I managed to get in my dip at the end. ..Sirje signs on for the dip  :-) ! Small group: 2 couples attended so we were 5 altogether. The company and the scenery were well worth the weather challenges! Sorry – no pictures that I am aware of! Next trip Tunnel Lake June 24th - Sirje..details to follow ON ANOTHER NOTE: Ladies' only trip (August 5th) should have been removed from schedule -Sirje is not available. Additional changes: the July 27th event should read 'potluck and evening paddle'. Please note for this event: RSVP required
