Leon visits Canmore
My buddy Leon was in town visiting Altadore Gymnastics Club.
A group of us went up to Canmore to stay with Kelly Mock (who recently relocated from Whitehorse).
Our day hike in Cougar Creek I posted on my hiking blog.
Banff Mountain Film Festival 2008

trip report – climbing Mt Adams, WA
Mission accomplished.
The FARTs got to the summit under the expert leadership of Matt Wilson.

Good adventure! But … I still prefer hiking.
George at Lakeview
George Novak has a dream. To eat the World’s Largest HOAGIE.
… um, actually that’s Homer Simpson.
George’s goal is to mountain bike from Athol to Lakview, Idaho. That’s 42 miles and 4hr 49min of hard riding, with well over 5600 feet of climbing, over infamous logging roads.
Will he ever make it?
I dunno.
Just in case he doesn’t, I photoshopped George into our photo from our adventure today. That’s him swimming.

Glasers to holiday in Kauai, Hawaii
They have 4 nights booked in July at the Tropical Family Villa.
And a week booked at Hale Mana, a three acre multi-million dollar private estate on a bluff overlooking a waterfall.
This plantation style home is perched high on a bluff with pristine, 360-degree views of the ocean, valley, mountains and river below. …
details – Hale Mana
Rob’s looking forward to hiking the famous Kalalau Trail on the Na Pali Coast. The same one I did earlier this year.
Wish I was going with them.
hiking Stone Mountain, Georgia
I heard the best hike close to Atlanta was Stone Mountain.
Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis
Some say this is the largest exposed granite ‘stone’ in the world.
Did a trail run UP and AROUND the monolith when I was in transit a few weeks ago.

Hawaii 5-0
It took me 50yrs to finally get to Hawaii.
Don’t know why so long.
Hawaii is magic.
Back when we were kids in Calgary, only the RICH people went to Hawaii on family holiday. Most, like us, jumped in the car and drove to British Columbia. Also great.
Over on my hiking blog I have a number of additional posts:
With the Masons:
hiking Waimea Canyon, Hawaii with kids dangerous spikes on the hiking trail best hike south coast Kauai, Hawaii

On my own:
my Alakai Swamp trail run in Hawaii Powerline Trail, Kauai, Hawaii
Kaapoko tunnel hike, Kauai, Hawaii Nualolo – Awa Awaphui Trails Loop, Hawaii paradise – the Kalalau Trail in Hawaii
And I never even made it to Secret Beach.

Might have to go back. Glasers are going in August …. hmmm.
hiking Joshua Tree
Hello from Peabody’s Coffee Bar in Palm Springs, California.
I’m just off to do a trail run on Mt. San Jacinto, off the tramway. It’s sunny summer down below. But I hear there is plenty of snow up high. In fact, they rent snow shoes and cross country skis atop the lift.
After a few days hiking in the Joshua Tree area, I fly to Mazatlán, Mexico on Tuesday for more dental work.
