The weather gods gave us another gift of a mild November day in the foothills. After a 3 degree morning in Calgary the temperature jumped to 10 on the drive west, then dropped to 5 at the trailhead. There was Chinook cloudiness so at times it was toasty warm sunshine and at times it was cloudy and cooler, but it was about 8 at lunch at the Pine Grove group camp. The ground was bare but there was a small amount of residual snow or ice in some places. Some donned spikes but most did not bother as the icy tread in the track could be easily stepped around.

We were back at the cars by 1:30 for a nice, easy day in the foothills.

Participants: Christine, Madeleine, Linda, Robert, Susan, Leslie, Bill, Bob, Richard, Janet and Carl, coordinator and scribe.
