8r4d Day three recap part 1. After two long days of hiking we took a rest day and hung out closer to camp. #hike

8r4d Day two recap, part 2. A long day #hike up the pass and onto the peak was a preview for our way home a few days later. It was a slog up to the top of the pass but the views were fantastic.

8r4d Day two recap, part 1. The only place on the mountain with both great views and a cell phone signal was on top of the falls. #hike

8r4d Day one recap, part 3. We set up camp at the far end of the lake—our home base for the next 3 nights. #hike

8r4d Day one recap, part 2. The headwall involved free climbing with our heavy packs up a cliff face with rebar ladder rungs stuck in the rock. #hike

8r4d Day one recap, part 1. The first leg up to the falls was tough but not too bad. #hike

8r4d The worlds largest game store? We may have spent some money and bought a new #boardgame this evening.

8r4d Staging up for our hike and warming up the legs by walking around the market pondering all the #food that’s way too heavy to carry up a mountain.

8r4d Disaster! So the third day of the #heritagefestival ended up cancelled because a storm hit the site Sunday night and wrecked enough infrastructure—water, power, tents—that it was unsafe for the public. The city was in shock. This rarely happens. In fact I don’t ever remember a cancellation (except during the pandemic.) It was waiting on pins and needles all day to find out how we fared. But alas our crew finally got access late afternoon and tho the damage was minimal on our site, we still had our work cut out cleaning and tearing down the kitchen to wrap up for another year. #volunteering

8r4d Despite being on my feet all day yesterday I still owed the #running gods a long run this morning. Only two weeks until the #halfmarathon so luckily the #rivervalley was still cool.

8r4d Day one of #heritagefestival 2024 and between cooking lots of #crepes managing an outdoor kitchen in the #summer #heat and helping with my share of problem solving, I’m definitely ready for a cozy sleep tonight.

8r4d The ‘nlaws have a little permanent #camping site out at a little lake in the middle of nowheres alberta and so we drove out for a Friday dinner and a visit
