What a Saturday!
My buddy Jordan and I tackled half of the Baden Powell Trail today. The trail took a bit longer than planned (6:23:53) but considering we hiked from Deep Cove, through Lynn Canyon, halfway up the BCMC and then to the base of Grouse Mountain, we're pretty pumped.
Definitely a great hike and something I'd be up to do again next summer. Here were some highlights of the day.
- Seeing the sunrise at around 5:14am this morning
- Following the Fleur-de-Lis all day.
- The epic view of deep cove the cliffs.
- Rocking out to the Jurassic Park theme song.
- Hustling down hill, avoiding narrowly avoiding sprained ankles.
- Running across the Lynn Canyon Suspensions bridge and scaring some lady.
- Bailing in frontof some tourists. They were scared.
- Laughing at the fact that my dad gave me some supplies: toilet paper (just in case).
- Using said supplies I had previously laughed at. Thankfully Bolivia has prepared me well for the asian squat technique.
- Epic Momma Gildersleeve muffin's with rhubarb from Jordan's backyard.
- Riddles.
- The three crazy girls.
- Choosing the "more legit looking path" and ending up half way up the BCMC. fml.
- Finishing.
It's taking a day like today to realize that vacations are important, but when you live Vancouver, a vacation is just a few steps away.
