I met-up with Boris and his co-workers at
Cypress Mountain to hike
St. Mark's Summit! He and Jason convinced me to park in the middle of the lot to start a trend. ;-)
It was actually my first time up here.
It's very beautiful!
I wanted to take Gus along, but he was still sleeping at his mom's.
There were some pretty good inclines...
that took your breath away.
After around
2 1/2 hours, we made it to our destination!
And what a view we had of the
Howe Sound!
There's
Bowen Island.
Squamish is further down there.
I spotted a
chipmunk!
There were a few up here,
but they were a little shy.
I just couldn't get over the view!
At first I thought there was smoke from a fire, but then I realized it was a cloud!
That's the
Sea to Sky Highway down there!
We walked over to the second edge for another vantage point.
Time for a few poses.
Gotta break-out the red!
"This is my home." ;-)
Arrr!!!
Rarrr!!!
"What?!? We gotta go back now?!?"
We caught a whale, Maxim! LOL!
The return trip...
is always bittersweet.
Our
Olympic legacy still lives on.
Yup.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Olympic rings!"
Looks like Jetta James wasn't alone anymore when we returned to the lot!
She such a trendsetter. After the rest of the crew left, Gus arrived with Megan and Alex! I gave him a big hug and kiss before his hike. ;-)
Big thanks to Boris for inviting me on this enjoyable hike!!! :-)
In the evening, I drove down to
White Rock to celebrate Lance's
50th birthday!
Our favourite former wrangler had a bunch of his friends and family around to mark his milestone.
I met
White Rock's former mayor,
Catherine Ferguson!
She gave a little toast to the birthday boy.
His brother Troy brought in the cake...
and his mother told him to blow-out the candles. Haha!
Happy Birthday Lance!!! :-)
