    A Day On The Mountain

    I don't think i've posted a TR in a while so thought i'd post a few pics. We had some very nice weather a few days ago so i got out for the day on the mt.

    Things are greening up

    One of my favorite spots on this Hummock.

    Waterfall down the gully to the left.

    Unless its winter or very wet the BB is my fire. Years of service and still a great piece of kit.

    Fiddle-heads and Avalanche Lilies are starting to come out. The bulb of this lily was a favorite edible of native peoples of BC.

    On my way down i almost ran into this fella. About forty feet apart we just stood there. It didn't really feel like moving. It then went back to eating so i poked the ground with my stick a couple of times which scared it and it jumped off the path several yards till i went by . Surprising because normally deer run like anything. I don't think it new what i was or was just comfortable with me .?? Anyway nice encounter.

    Beautiful looks like a great place.
    "Nothing could be more irrational than to give the people power and to withhold from them information, without which power is abused. A people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives. A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it is but a prologue to a farce or tragedy, or perhaps both." - James Madison

    Mountain views are good for the soul....& getting to them is good for my waistline.
