What A Week!!!!

Last week, Wednesday, I took off for a couple of days of backpacking with a few buddies. We hike 7.5 kms gaining 3000 ft to Taylor Meadows-Garibaldi Lake (4900 ft).


The following morning (Thursday) we departed from our base camp at Taylor Meadows and headed for Black Tusk (7,608 ft). As I was huffing and puffing my way up wondering if this was worth it. I ask Jesus where he was...? His answer, "I'm at the top waiting for you, that should be some motivation to get you to there!" I had to laugh...


We had lunch and a victory cigar at the top of Black Tusk and headed down. Once back down, being gluttons for punishment, we decided to climb the ridge across from Black Tusk called Panorama Ridge (6952 ft)

Panorama Ridge offered a great views but we were wiped out. We headed down exhausted. We stopped for a swim in Black Tusk lake and then back to our tents at Taylor Meadows for dinner. In all we probably covered 20+ kms that day.

Friday morning we broke camp and headed for home. In all we traveled about 35+ kms round trip.

I got home to learn that there was a offer on our house and later that afternoon we went for our ultrasound. By Saturday evening we had an accepted offer on our house and had learned that we were having a son! What a week!!!!
