The summer of 2017 was a banner alpine bloom year for me. For the first trip, three of us headed to Manning Park and hiked up the Heather Trail.
Carpets and carpets of flowers…
2011 made for a crappy year in BCs lower mainland. Six weeks of ‘summer’ (per my definition of the term) simply did not cut it. Previously, I had no desire to travel to warmer climes. That was about to change. Flights, a cabin and scooter were booked.
On a Tuesday in December within a couple hours of landing in Lihue, I was wandering barefoot in the sun and sand of a Kaua’i beach.
Trip number one of many to Hawai’i.
This was my first bike trip to the Southern Gulf Islands.
