Thursday April 17 - Hogsback Road hike

 On a gorgeous spring day Peter Hamley, Bill Hardwick & I walked 7 km on the Pine Ridge section of The Ganaraska Trail between Omemee & Bethany, an esker ridge overlooking the City of Kawartha Lakes countryside. We started from the south end of the trail on Ski Hill Rd (Cty Rd 38) across from the Buddhist Garden complex. This is a challenging hike with many "hills & valleys" including a long steep rocky slope near the start. However there are lovely vistas of the surrounding countryside as we made our way to the Pigeon R where we stopped for a break before turning back. There are 2 other access points, one at the end of Hayes Line & the other  at the north end off Mt Horeb Rd.
