It’s been almost a year since I took the plunge and committed to doing/organizing a hike every Wednesday night. Given what I would describe as a short attention span and sometimes fleeting interest in things, I’m kind of proud that, with the exception of maybe three or four, I have been able to get something together for almost 50 weeks out of the past year. I guess it’s the variety… we don’t do the same hike every week, and with varying conditions, it’s almost always interesting some way or another.
This week was a short, clockwise loop of Rithet’s Bog. The outing was devoid of the cloud and rain of the previous weeks, but it was surprisingly windy.

A 4.1km hike around Rithet's Bog in Victoria, BC. Click on the map to see detailed GPS information on the Garmin website.
We did a clockwise loop around the bog. This is the view towards the middle of Rithet's Bog from the east side.
The trail around Rithet's Bog is of the hard-packed gravel variety. There are a few relatively small hills along the way, but overall it's a pretty easy loop.
A bog and bulrushes, who knew...
The last part of the loop around Rithet's Bog (on the west side). Looks nice, but it was definitely a night to tie down anything that might blow away.
Ohhh, isn't that cute... duckies in Rithet's Bog. It's actually pretty difficult to see the water in the bog from the trail except for this one spot along the west side.
Yeah one year That’s boss!!!!!
