Well Hello There......

Billy Boy is having a nap as we are heading out tonight to Calgary, so I thought I would add my two cents worth while he is having sweet dreams. We are having a great time with these runs and enjoying the scenery, and with each trip are finding out more neat things and places to visit.

Apparently in northern British Columbia, there are hotsprings at Liard River that are located near the Highway and have parking space for trucks. It's just a short 10 minute walk into the park area from the road. After looking at the website for the hotsprings, there is a warning sign that they close the springs when bears are too active in the area ... yikes! We really do have to try the springs though just for the fun of it. The other team, Darby & Leigh, that do the Friday night run to the Yukon stopped for a dip and told us that the water temperature was quite hot. It definitely is on the "bucket list". I will take some photo's of Bill in his "speedo" and post them in the blog when he's not looking.

I must say that the Vancouver weather is a real bonus. Bill and I did a little exploring the last time we had our 2 days off and ended up in White Rock along the boardwalk where there were a lot of little shops and bars. Here it was the middle of February and we were sitting outside, along the boardwalk watching all the old classic cars cruise by on the sunny Sunday afternoon. Next week we are going to explore Granville Island where there are little shops and boutiques to enjoy.

The time seems to be flying by as we're having fun and before you know it, it will be December when we are planning to return home. But before that we are looking forward to the girls coming out in June to visit and we will take the week off and enjoy. I have already warned them that the Zipline in Whistler is a "Must Do" so prepare themselves for the thrilling ride. Victoria Island will also be on the itinerary.

Well, this is just a short message. I need to go out to the truck and wake my babe up and cook dinner. George Foreman is going to help me cook some chicken breasts. Ciao for now!
