There was a typo on the date. It is for Dec 3 not the 13th.

Join us Tuesday for a walk on the 4.5 loop on the Waterloo GeoTrail. Meet at Wing 404 at 9:30 and we will carpool to the start at 594 Sundew Dr., Waterloo. Bring a pole if you have one in case it is slippery.

For the hike on Tuesday November 19th we will meet in the lobby of Wing 404 by 9:30. From there we will carpool to a trail in north Waterloo.

Since the trail is a linear one we can walk the entire 5 km trail or shorter sections of it. Since we are walking a trail in Waterloo we will have time to return to Wing 404 for those who are joining in the Christmas Decorating which begins after 12:30.

Make sure to check your email Monday night or early Tuesday morning in case of cancellation due to bad weather.

Dear OSSCC members,

Because of weather conditions the walk scheduled for Tuesday, November 12 is cancelled.

I hope to reschedule the walk at Huron Park another day, when roads and trails conditions improve.

Keep posted,

Just a reminder about Tuesday’s Geocache Day.

For all the pertinent information, see here.

Old Salts GEOCACHE Day at Woolwich  Reservoir / Floradale Lake

Our annual Geocache Day will be held on Tuesday November 5^th. Geocaching is similar to a treasure hunt. It provides plenty of exercise, combined with your “ seek and find “ skills. The process will be explained briefly at Wing 404 prior to leaving.

Time / Place: 9AM at Wing 404 { Canoe Club } on Dutton Drive

Where do we Geocache? In areas around Floradale Lake

Who can participate ?  Any club member ** In former years we have Geocached along various easy walking sections of the Kissing Bridge Rail Trail. Our outing this time will be quite vigorous, with lots of obstacles and ups and downs, combined with a 4 to 5 Km distance, as we go through the woods.**

What to wear? Warm loose weather proof clothing and a hat, temperature forecast of 7, feels like 3, sun/cloud with the slight possibility of some rain. A good pair of hiking shoes are a must.

What to bring: A snack, container of water,a pen . If you own a GPS for trail use and wish to download the sites, email Chris at sheppardcme@hotmail.com for a list and he will send it to you. You will have a chance to use one on the outing. You don’t need to have one of your own.

What happens? Meet at club at 9, listen to an overview of Geocaching, break into two groups, car pool to the Floradale Lake {direction provided}, where you will begin the ‘hunt’. At the end, you may wish to go to Bonnie Lou’s in Floradale for lunch as last year or just head back to the 404.
