Hiking The West Coast Trail -Introduction – 1/5
“We should do the West Coast Trail [WCT] before the end of the season” said Flo
“OK”, said Scott. And that was all it took. Would I regret this?
Hiking the Emerald Lake Trail
This was our third hike of our trip in the Rockies. I would say this was more of a walk than a hike but the Emerald Lake Trail was a one-up for beauty on what Loz and I had done so far.
Tunnel Bluffs Hike – Lions Bay
So the kids were being kids again. Sam and Arno continued their fight from last week up at St Mark’s Summit which I had to break up again. Some things never change eh?
Lake Louise Hikes – The Teahouse Trail

I’m now looking for work and I’m OK with that. I’m looking forward to re-engaging that part of my brain again. I look forward to meeting more people, more … Continue reading Fanning the Fire of Happiness to Beyond Existence – Bridging the Fun Gap
The Lions Binkert Trail
Hanging around in Vancouver, waiting for our next adventure Flo (a friend who’s sofa I am crashing) and I decided to take a look at some fun that was a little closer to home. We set upon the Lions Binkert Trail in North Vancouver. Visible from Downtown, they look like Lion’s Ears.
