John Schulz (register by email at johnschulz2@gmail.com) Nature Manitoba's COVID-19 protocols (effective 2022-Sep-22): Here.
Location: Meeting at and returning to Aubrey and Palmerston in Wolseley. There is non-time-restricted parking on Palmerston.
Time: Leave Aubrey and Palmerston at 10:30 AM.
Description: We will hike down to the Assiniboine River, and then head east on foot in search of the west trailhead of the Nestaweya River Trail. (This should take ~30 minutes.)
Skaters will skate to the east end of the skating trail (near the Manitoba Canoe & Kayak Centre) and back to The Forks. (This should take 45 minutes to an hour.)
Hikers will head for The Forks, with everyone meeting in The Forks Market at The Common for lunch.
After lunch we will hike back to Wolseley. (This will take about an hour.)
Note: If the Assiniboine River turns to slush from increased Shellmouth Reservoir outflow, we will adjust to only skate what is open and either hike on the river walk or along Assiniboine Ave.
Duration: 3 to 4 hours.
Bring: Your name tag, lunch (or buy at The Forks), and a knapsack to carry your shoes if you plan to skate.
