Shannon Falls and Sqaumish


Turns out the "day after" skiing wasn't near as bad as Mike thought it would be. Maybe having a steam room and hot tub, plus a naproxen was a good idea.

Also turns out that the last run wasn't on 7th Heaven, but on Whiskey Jack and Olympic Run; on the Whistler side of the mountain. Mike's still smiling; and I'm sure he will be for a while yet.

Wednesday we ended up taking a drive to Shannon Falls. This little gem of a place is just south of Squamish; and was worth the drive over. The roar of the water rushing down the mountain side is deafening; and the views and sights around are breathtaking.

Thursday, we drove back north of Squamish and took a rough gravel road towards the Tantalus Mountains. Lots of pot holes to dodge on this road; but Al, we didn't lose any fillings - not a one!!!

Last night, we had a campfire as it was also our last night in Squamish. The 9 nights there flew by; and the weather turned out to be way nicer than was predicted.

Today, we travelled to Chilliwack. There was lots of construction along the way, but the traffic moved along pretty good. We were here and set up just after 2:30 this afternoon. The park is right beside the Trans Canada and the sites are pretty small. But, there are mountains surrounding us, in any direction you look - pretty nice. We're only here for the weekend; and isn't too far for Rob to come for a visit.

We've been getting lots of comments on the blog plus lots of emails with lots of really nice comments about our travels. It puts a smile on our faces knowing that so many of you are enjoying our travels and blog. We'll be doing lots of travelling in the next while, so there will be lots to see, do and share. Hope that you enjoy it was much are we are!

Take a look at the pictures
