Back at work

Last weekend was a long weekend. Spent it wandering around the New Denver and Kaslo area in British Columbia walking into a old mine, cemetery, and a ghost town with a few diversions along the way.

Confirmed in am in lousy physical condition for long hikes and that I need to do something about. What I did do about it in the evenings on my trip was drink beer. Not the right answer but they have some damn good craft draught beer in the area. I tried a rhubarb beer on a whim called Rhubarbian that was very good. I would have loved to buy some but liquor stores in the area are government stores and were not open on Sunday and the holiday Monday. Every placed I dined at had excellent food. A return trip is warranted just for the beer. Had a friend from Calgary join me on the trip and the company was enjoyable.

Accomplished just about everything I wanted to do on my trip except see some bears. It is prime area to spot bears. Oddly the only wildlife I did see was a few deer.

The Kool Bus in Balfour, British Columbia

There is a lot of this type of thing in the West Kootenay region. This is right beside the ferry landing. No, I did not buy anything.



Home again

Short trip to British Columbia. Did some hiking and exploring and confirmed that I am horribly out of shape. I am very stiff and sore. Weak internet where I was staying.

Once I get some coffee in my system and get mobile I might post something more substantial.
