Today was the best attended hike ever for the Walker's Club. Could it have been all the talk about the frozen waterfalls building???? Could it have been the lure of a Christmas Lunch with friends????? Could it have been the delicious cookies that were brought in for the cookie exchange????? Or the great weather we've been having????? Anyway 63 hikers came for the walk today!!!!

| Wildcat Canyon |
 |
| 63 hikers ready to go. I counted them twice, yes there was 63 |
 |
| I am on the other side of French Canyon taking this photo. The line of hikers was very long today. |
 |
| Pontiac Canyon |
 |
| New signs are up. This one is on the West overlook of Wildcat Canyon |
 |
| Upper Wildcat Canyon. I knew by looking at this section that the main part of the waterfall was going to be great. |

 |
| We went down the stairs into Wildcat Canyon. From the top it appeared that the waterfall was connected all the way. But when we got into the canyon we could see that it wasn't complete yet. SOON! |
 |
| Everyone was loving the ice falls |
 |
| On our way up to Eagle's Cliff |
 |
| Another new sign. This sign was atop of Eagle's Cliff |
 |
| Ken, one of our hikers was enjoying the view. We did see a few flying today. |
 |
| Starved Rock Lock and Dam. This is the best place to see the bald eagles |

 |
| Today was our Christmas Lunch. I ordered the special, and yes it was delicious. |
 |
| Cookies for dessert. Every that wanted to participate brought in 2 doz cookies. Once we left for the hike, my office mixed them up, and everyone left with 2 doz mixed cookies. |
 |
| Walker's Club enjoying each other's company and lunch. How blessed I am to be able to spend a few hours every Thursday with this group. |
