Barry Diceman & I skied a loop of 15 km today. We went up Kawartha to Wolf, Wolf to Kenner then stopped at Tanney Cabin for a rest & lit the wood stove,1st photo. From Tanney we skied with Keith MacKenzie on the PL Rd, 2nd photo, which is a lovely trail thru a mature pine forest with nice downhill sections to Kawartha & back to the parking lot. Note Keith hugging a tree that will be logged this fall & the kids in the Jack Rabbit ski class, future Dudes & Babes! Keith plans to join the Dudes when he gets around to retiring. The temp was cold, -18 C when we started but we stayed warm & dry, although our drinks had turned to slush near the end of the day!
The skier in the blue racing suit in the middle photo is Brian Hedney who is a retired teacher from TCS & an avid cyclist & skier. I found the Ganaraska Hills route that we cycle each season, from Garden Hill, on his cycling website where the terrain is described as relatively flat! The photo was taken outside the Laderach Cabin. From the bottom, photos 1,2,& 4 are on Kenner,#5 is at the junction of Deer & Kawartha & #6 is of Frank's boots that are ready for burial in the Laderach boot camp.
