It’s been more than a year since I was last on Vancouver Island. With much of interior BC burning, I decided to look for something closer to the coast.
A day in Vancouver
In the spirit of adventure that really isn’t, I hopped in the car and drove up to Vancouver for the day
Finally! Staten Island pizza
We finally made it to Staten Island. It took some coordinating, and almost didn’t happen due to a week of oppressive heat in New York City
Wandering around Seattle
Finally got a reasonably decent weekend. I wandered the waterfront and took in a classic wooden yacht show at Bell Harbor Marina.
5 4 Boroughs of New York pizza
it was a fun trip. We got to neighborhoods we don’t usually get to and we had some great pizza.
The headwaters of Central Park
I decided to go on an expedition to find the headwaters of Central Park’s “Gill.”
The road from Jasper, and ongoing, nagging thoughts
I like traveling with a block of time and minimal plans. The people I met were of like mind. Encountering like-minded people from different places and backgrounds is the best part of travel.
A slow last day in Jasper, oh, and some elk
The weather has changed and so have my plans. I decided to spend another day exploring more locally, then drive home directly.
An icy trail, more waterfalls, and a big mountain: Jasper day 3
The third day I had one goal: hike to the bottom of Kinney Lake and back.
Frozen waterfalls and snowy trails: Jasper day 2
My second day was a waterfalls day.
I started by driving west past the British Columbia border to Mt. Robson Provincial Park. I’ve been through on the way up and wanted to explore some of the waterfalls that I had not visited on my previous trip.
