PGOSA Social Hikers – seeking new activity managers
The Social Hikers activity managers are looking for someone to take over the Friday hiking group. Preference would be two individuals, friends or a couple. The Activity Managers select a hike, usually 10-14 km with a elevation gains up to about 340 metres. The hike is communicated to the members of the group, with RSVP required by Thursday evening at 6. I am typically the leader, with Pat as sweep, but our hikers are always willing to assist with setting the pace and making sure the no one is left behind. We will remain as leaders until the end of the year, or sooner if someone steps forward.
Pat and I will still hike with this group, and we will step up if the new leaders are unavailable for some hikes. We are more than willing to share all of our knowledge, and we hope that the hikers hiking with this group will remain with this group. This group will have been functioning for 5 years come October 1st with Pat and I as leaders. We have enjoyed this group immensely and have welcomed I think over a 100 hikers. We currently stand at over 50 today. We have hikers here in the winter and some in the summer, some who only want to do the occasional hike. We have hiked with a little as 3, Pat and I and one other and with as many at 29 (that was a chatty group that day). The norm is between 8 and 15 a comfortable size.
Contact patandwendy@telus.net if you can help manage this group. Thanks! Pat and Wendy
PGOSA Paddlers
On Saturday, June 13th 2026, six members of the PGOSA Paddlers drove to Anutz Lake and made camp in a large meadow fronting on a beautiful yellow sand beach with a million dollar view. It was windy every afternoon, but on Sunday morning, we six ventured onto Anutz Lake, through the long channel joining it to Nimpkish Lake and explored the perfect calm and reflections of early morning. There we found karst formations in abundance, Quatsino limestone, and many small waterfront caves.
After a well-earned rest, we spent the afternoon at Little Huson Caves and as one member said, it was stunning. A whole river disappears into a wall of limestone and the resulting grotto is sunlit and can be explored.
The next day, Monday, we drove up some not-so-good gravel roads to Schoen Lake Provincial Park. Although it was somewhat overcast and a little windy, the Schoen Mountain is impressive. At one point, we could see ample snow and six or seven high waterfalls. The peak rose straight up from the lake.
9.4 miles at Nimpkish Lake and 7.3 miles at Schoen Lake. The photos below show Anutz Lake, the channel onto Nimpkish Lake, karst formations along the shore of Nimpkish Lake, a backwater bayou with lily pads, Little Huson Caves, and Mount Schoen.
