Mount Seymour

Last weekend Mike and I decided we would take a hike on mount Seymour.

Chris and Rain do it fairly often and we thought we'd give it a shot.

Chris came over then we piled in the Matrix and off we went.

We drove up and up and up and finally came to a parking lot.



The first thing I noticed was the bugs. Chris said there were hardly any bugs, but I think some breeding went on since he'd last been there.

Mike and I doused ourselves with fly dope, but still they were buzzing all over. I refused to stop walking so they wouldn't land. I walked in circles until the men had finished consulting the map. lol, like they needed it for the short hike we were about to take.

The second thing I noticed was the snow.

There was a lot of snow and there were all kinds
of little streams and waterfalls, running through it. Mike and I were slipping and sliding around in our sneakers.

The dogs were having a great time though. Jumping in the water and running way ahead.

It was very steep and the footing was very loose. We lasted about 20 minutes up before Mike and I had had enough. We did manage to get to a little peak to take a picture. We pretty much ran down the hill flailing our arms at mosquitoes and horse flies and I was shrieking and yelping.


I was reminded of how much I hate bugs and how glad I am that I now live in a city where there are none.

Needless to say Chris was pretty disgusted with us. He thinks we are too citified, but hey man, that's why we moved.

When we got home we got cleaned up and had some nice drinks in our nice bug-free apartment and then went to Yaletown for dinner. That's more like it!
