Grenada here we come.  Our flights are booked for Grenada Feb 13-28, 2012.  We are going to meet Rod and Wendy and spend a couple of weeks on their catamaran exploring the Grenadine islands.

TUESDAY OCTOBER 18,2011

We hiked to Manning Park today and climbed Frosty.  The weather was a beautiful sunny 17C with a clear blue sky and no wind.  Seemed like a perfect hiking day for any spring, summer or fall.  We saw a couple of grouse on the trail but I didn't have my camera handy.  At the top, a 3 hour steady hike, we sat in the sun with the larches and whiskey jacks.  The larch trees are the only trees that thrive above 2000 meters and can live over 2000 years.  They are the beautiful yellow evergreens.

 The whiskey jacks were overly friendly and were trying to take food right out of our hands, bags and mouths.  I took several photos of them eating out of my hand. 

A perfect hike with spectacular views, but a long day.  Didn't get home until nearly 8:00 pm.

There are 4 lakes down there. They are called Lightning, Strike, Thunder and Flash

Cambodia - Here we Come

We are booked for Cambodia.  Sara and I will fly to Phnom Penh on Nov 23.  Tamara, Tyler and Brittni fly to Ho Chi Min city on the same day.  We will meet up in Siem Reap, on December 1, if not before, where we will meet up with Warren, Lynda, Jaki & Gabriel as well.  They are all running the Ankor Wat half marathon.  Sara and I will cheer them on.  Lots of research to do now.
