We started out for the Central Staging in the Cooking Lake Recreation Area, but I missed a turn and we ended up at Islet Lake anyway. The first place we walked was over to the lake to check it out and we decided to walk over to the main island. We explored the large island some of the smaller islands. We observed one interesting ice heave between an Island and a point of land. The ice on the lake appeared to be 1 foot thick. There were areas with no snow cover and areas with no snow cover. Walking on the snow covered areas was quite easy but the clear areas were slippery so we barely averaged 2 km/hr. I fell down once.
Distance walked was 4 km
Moving time 1 hour 45 min.
Dec. 18, 2011, Walked Mill Creek in Edmonton with a friend.
We started out at 93 st. and 69 ave. Walked around the south side of the residence in the ravine bottom (89th Ave.) at about N53 30 46.8 W113 28 18.1. Along the trail there was a tree that had been chopped down. On our return we took a little different route and missed the tree so we back tracked to it so we could salvage some twigs off of it. On the way back we found Christmas ball ornaments hung in the trees and took photos.
Total distance 9.3 km
Total time about 2 to 2.5 hours
