Well since we want camping on the long weekend Kim’s brother Steve got married, we finally took possession of our new house, went sky diving, and closed up the cabin. Now it’s October and we’ve been to a class reunion broke in our new house with a Thanksgiving bash and I am preparing to go to Africa to setup a Radio Station.
So, I don’t have to many stories to tell, because I need to install the vacume, but I do have a few pictures. 🙂
I think Stephen is just happy that Avrey let him kiss her in public for the day.
The Girls of Skydiving.
Can you find us?
Mom
Katie happy that Keith made it and that she didn’t come home from Europe for nothing.
Nicole was also happy that Dan made it.
Dad – winner of closest to the landing target.
The reunion was a lot of fun, but as you can see here Kim had to worry about that crazy Riggin’s kid attacking her from behind.
Last weekend I went on a 3 day backpacking trip in Jasper National Park….
I present to you “The Skyline Trail”
I went with my buddy Rick, his wife Michelle, and their brother-in-law Jaden
We had some rain, a very small bit of snow and one Grizzly Bear!
The Skyilne Trail is 44km long. We did it in 3 days, I think if I had the time 4 would be better.
The Skyline Trail has an elevation gain of 1350m.
The Skyline Trail has end points at Maligne Lake and Maligne Canyon.
The Skyline Trail has 7 designated campsites – ohh ahhh
The Skyline Trail is above the tree line for 23km.
The Skyline Trail …. well I don’t have many more useless peices of information. It is an amazing hike and one of the most popular ones in Jasper. I now can see why, the views are just absolutely stunning! My pictures don’t really do it justice, but here are a couple more.
There is nothing quite like backcountry camping, I love being away from everything and just you, your friends, and the mountains.
Well I was going to post a bunch from Newfoundland, but as luck would have it all of our baggage was lost on our flight home. So… we are moving into day 2 and I am starting to wondering is it coming…
CRAP!
Well assuming we get the baggage and everything is still there I will be happy to fill you in on the rest of the trip that I was unable to due to the fact that no one had Internet after we left St. John’s.
