Sometimes it is easier to insert a map to show where we visit, especially as no one lives here with us! We drove up, towards the Canadian boarder over Easter. It was a sunny day *yay :)* and this place has been raved about since we moved here. I am really pleased we left so… Continue reading Tulip Town and Clayton Beach 04/16/17

Wallace Falls 03/05/2017
It has been a while since we've gone out with Igloo and Sausage but we managed it today. This is a hike I've done before but one which neither them nor Hubster has done. We really wanted to get out, but sometimes at the weekend we have a lazy time and struggle to stick with… Continue reading Wallace Falls 03/05/2017
Rattlesnake Ledge 15/01/2017
Brrr...not as cold as Franklin Falls, but it was still quite chilly! We went up with a friend of mine who doesn't get to hike with others very often. The recent trip reports on WTA mentioned that microspikes would be needed and I am so pleased we took ours. At times it was very very… Continue reading Rattlesnake Ledge 15/01/2017
Oyster Dome 04/01/16
This was my last hike before I headed back to the UK. Oyster Dome. Somewhere I had not heard of, nor knew where it was. This was just under 2 hours drive, and we all drove in one car. Hubster dropped me off at one of the Park and Rides, partly because I didn't know… Continue reading Oyster Dome 04/01/16
Gold Creek Pond 03/22/16
I finally had the opportunity to use my snow shoes which we brought from Costco before Christmas. This was not the original plan, but because I managed to hurt my thigh yesterday by slipping on the Ira Springs Trail I asked to go somewhere nearer. I was the driver too, and couldn't face driving almost… Continue reading Gold Creek Pond 03/22/16
Ira Springs Trail 03/21/16
So I hiked this with my two hiking buddies from the Ladies Hiking Group, we were aware of the low avalanche warning and for me I certainly feel comfortable speaking to the others if I feel like I can't or shouldn't continue on a route. This trail proved this, and also that we hike similarly… Continue reading Ira Springs Trail 03/21/16
Licorice Fern Trail 03/05/16
An afternoon hike for me and Hubster today. I saw this hike posted on the Ladies Group but on a day when I would be unable to join them, but it looked like a nice one so I nabbed it! Licorice Fern Trail is about 4.5 miles long, with not a huge elevation so was… Continue reading Licorice Fern Trail 03/05/16
Mount Si Old Trail 02/29/16
The ladies I hiked with, minus one who needed to head back down. Next time! I knew this would be a hard hike, it is steep and long, plus I need to carry my own pack. There are some reasons why I married Hubster :-p This was another Ladies Group Hike, and I really can… Continue reading Mount Si Old Trail 02/29/16
First visitor to our new home! 1/14/16 -1/29/16
The last couple of weeks have been crazy busy in the Gordon household! We welcomed Mama S, who came for her first visit over here and her first holiday abroad in a little while! She is with us for 2 weeks, and hope she'll have a great time. Edit: she did!! It took us a while… Continue reading First visitor to our new home! 1/14/16 -1/29/16
Boxing Day 2015
Boxing Day morning was a slow one. For some reason - probably because we stayed overnight at friends - we were up early. Way to early! Before Igloo and Sausage woke up. So after a shower I had fun playing their piano. I really miss having a piano to play around on, but at least… Continue reading Boxing Day 2015
