Sun, Jun 7 2009 - WEM to Clifford E Lee Nature Area - Bike and Hike (16km/hour avg) (View Original Event Details)
|  |
A sketchy weather forecast for Calgary and the mountains made Brent and I change our weekend plans at last minute from hiking in Lake Louise to doing a bike and hike here in Edmonton. Although the weather here wasn't ideal either, it was definitely better, and I'm so glad that three people decided to join us for what turned out to be a very pleasant bike and hike out to Clifford E Lee Nature Area.
We got a bit of everything, some sun, a few drops of rain, and lots of threatening clouds whose bark turned out to be worse than their bite. This was our third trip out to this park, but the first time that we actually did a walk around it. The water in the marshes was low to non-existent, and as a result, there wasn't as much "Nature" to be seen as I would have liked. In fact, if there had been any less "Nature", I might have had to give "Nature" a no-show. "Weather", on the other hand, was definitely in attendance.
Thanks to Don, Josephine and Laura for joining us - we had a fantastic time.
