remembering the good 'ol times

yeah - so this picture was taken mere seconds before our cairn fell over. i guess not everything was meant to last. that picture is taken on top of...old smokey - just kidding. totally taken on top (well, er...sub-top) of mt. yamanuksa. it's a sweet mountain but it's kinda a jerk to hike. it's pretty much a steady and steep uphill grind the whole way. for whatever reason jennibee, icky and i decided to hike it on our wonderful days off (it was kinda a "program" retreat) right before summer. i had just played a gruelling rugby game the day before...what were we thinking. i was thinking...i love hiking...i'm pretty sure we hadn't even started on the actual mountain part before we were debating turning back. i'm pretty sure that we debated turning back all the way up the mountain. jennibee was the tough one who when up to the top. icky and i laid on the rocks and slept. ahhhhh - summer. oh how i miss thee. i wish you would not hide from us for 7 months of the year. what did we do to you?

these -30 days really really really get to me and my moral. oh well. such is the life of a canuck.
