Food Glorious Food!
Back from Terrace and straight back to work. Georgia has spent this weekend dehydrating veggies, beans and jerky in preparation for backpacking the North Coast Trail and Cape Scott at the end of the month.

The Sun Is Out!!
As we move into spring, the light has begun to return. The days are noticeably longer and the number of clear, sunny days is increasing.
It is time to drag out and dust off the sea kayaks to get paddling again. Trips up and down the highway, looking out at the water of the Gulf Islands along the way, have started the kayaking blood flowing again.
While Gary has been busy mostly inside this winter, Georgia has been able to paddle the river a couple of times and get up to Mount Washington (for North America's best snow this year). Right now, she is in Terrace coaching a group of archers at the BC Winter Games.
Both are looking forward to picking up their activity levels. So far, we have plans for the Ladysmith Paddle Festival, doing our annual lead guide scout trips hiking the North Coast Trail and Cape Scott Park, paddling in the Southern Gulf Islnads, and assessing trailheads on the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail.
The Maple Mountain hikes have continued to get their legs into shape. Next will be practicing paddling strokes.
Don't forget to visit our Tips for Trips page. This month, we are giving you great information on many aspects of hiking and backpacking trips.
So much to do.........Ah, Beautiful BC!
