End of an era

5k run April 2013

This was the strathcona county victim services run.

It was a little cold but not as bad as the year before.  The interminable aerobics warmup at the beginning was kind of painful (at least 5 songs, I would say) but the rest was good.

I broke 28 minutes & Michele broke 30. HELL YEAH!!!

Birkenbiner winter 2013

This was a 13K? Xc ski tour.  

She fell down a few times and complained it "hurt", which I thought was wussy till I saw the tennis ball sized bruise on her backside!

Jasper 2013 May-June

Adventures of a pair of what?

Anyway, it was a rainy weekend but we loved it.  Stayed at Pocahantas campground.

Our teeny trailer

M, what do you think of this campground?

(She loves it!  No rednecks and lots of rules about booze & generators!)

We walked Pocahantas Trail that first Fri evening.

Then Sulpher Skyline the next day

And the hot springs each night.  Aaahhh

Sunday we went down Snaring Road, on the N side of the Athabasca River E of the townsite, which becomes a very rugged one way road.  Cool!

Did the Celestine Lake trail, it got rainy & we turned back at Patricia Lake.

Then the $6.75 cheeseburger special at the Whistle Stop Pub.

It was a great trip.  We met a couple of bigtme mountain enthusiasts that got us fired up to do more, and who gave us some great suggestions (Mt Robson!) and the determination to track our trips better.
