Hiking in the Snowdon Demonstration Forest

The Probus hiking group met at Snowdon Demonstration Forest this week for our hike.  Brian Jackson offered to lead the gang, as he is very familiar with the trails.  We started at the Lost Lake parking lot and wound our way around forest, mossy clearings and rock outcroppings.  Although it was threatening to rain, there was only a light drizzle, until shortly before our lunch break.  Lunch was on the bluffs above Lost Lake so it was a short hike back to the car and nobody got too wet.  Along the way our fearless leader decided to poke an underground wasp nest, commenting that it was strange to see fungus in the ground.  As I was telling him it was a wasp nest, I was hightailing it down the trail.  Luckily the wasps were not perturbed and the only outcome was one embarrassed soul!
