Hiking

I didn't realize that BC was so beautiful! We went on quite a few hikes in 2005. However..., most of the places Terri and her friends hike to are rather hilly... I didn't get the attraction of this at first, since I come from a fairly flat area. Why climb up something when you just have to climb back down?!?! I get it now - the view! Wow!

There is no way I can keep up with everyone so Terri carries me on her backpack. It's great - I'm comfortable, don't have to sweat, have a great view, am able to access water and snacks, and can chat with everyone from up there.

Here I am checking out a tree on the way up to the Lions. I'm about to eat the Smartie someone put on my belly. We never made it to the top of the Lions that trip. One day I hope to climb all the way.  Terri says she won't climb to the top of the Lion, but maybe I can convince one of her friends to take me up there.

This is the way I usually travel on hikes. This one is at the top of the Chief in Squamish.

Guess where I am!! I was pretty excited - 1450m! What a great hike that was - the three peaks of Mount Seymour.

This one isn't in BC. We went to Mt. Baker in Washington. Here we are stopping for lunch.

Run hard, be strong, have fun.

That Mt Baker hike was a lot of fun.
