Sept. 6 Lions Hike Schedule Error

There is an error in the booking of the Sept. 6 Lions hike (as appeared on Raven and Crow). It should read starting from Cypress Bowl, not Lions Bay. CD wants to follow the Howe Sound Crest trail to the Lions, so plans to start from the Cypress downhill parking area. Meeting place and time are correct as scheduled.

CD finds that one can't get across 18 Mile Creek. Too much runoff and it is very high. CD will be going to Gate Mountain in the Fraser Canyon if fires are under control.
