I'm so glad I could get into my old blogging.

Normally, I tried excite blog (musoblog).  As noticed before, none of my remembered ID & passwords worked.  Any attempt to regain an access also failed.

Then, Great rescurer, Google Blog, which is surprisingly still active.

How to post photo?

Temporary Residence

Koko stayed with me for exactly one month.
Sorry to see her leave to her master's place.
We had a good time over all.

Video Post Possible (80 meg)???

This was the flight to Tsuniah Lake, north east side of Big lake of Chilco.

Date?

Either July 06 or 07 of this year, 2012.

The glaciers are the head of Lillooet River, I think.

Magic Hour: Old Theme; New Photos

Leo at Seymour Mountain, North Shore

This is the second outing into mountains with Leo this season.

He loves snow, crawling over the snow, or digging his whole face into.

New Port Mann Bridge in Progress

I haven't been to the trail connecting Maquabeak Marine Park to Colony Farm awhile.

I've decided to check it out.

There was another construction was going at the same time. A water main tunnel was beeing dugged out under the Fraser River to Surrey side.

As expected, a security man in a car was waiting the open gate. He stuck out his arm indicating No Go. We had a few exchanges, and then he asked me where I was going. My reply was obviously Colony Farm. An unimagined thing happened. He said, "Go!"

The trail had not been used frequently, so was quite muddy. Yet, I passed through to the Farm. Success!

Fat Dog; Backcountry Skiing with Leo

January 23-24 (Mon-Tue)' 2012

Camping by Beaver Pond

In the morning, the beaver pond was thinly frozen. Yet, a family of ducks was cruising along.

In the evening the day before, Leo and I watched a resident beaver swimming far side of the pond. It was too dark to take a video.
This is the tent I bought in May, 1974, just before ACC trip to the Long Beach on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Jane Smith led the trip. I wonder where she is.

Wow, it's dark. It was really dark in the forest, though all the trees were bare without leaves. In

this forest there were hardly any evergreens.

To Vernon

The last time when I flew to Vernon may be 3, 4 years ago. Jack flew his C-172 with bigger engine of O-360, 180 hp. Bruce worked as a co-pilot. I was a rear seat passenger.

The main purpose of the trip was for Jack to check out a wrecked C-180.

The pieces of the airplane were piled up at the corner of the airport. They didn't give me any appetite to rebuild.

A couple of months later, I was surprised to find the whole things in his shop. He was over 80 years old, still had a mental energy to challenge. I was really impressed.

Unfortunately he passed away before the project became complete.

This time I flew myself. Around Harrison Lake the cloud cover appeared, and by Hope I was on top. I had to climb to 9,5oo' to clear the clouds. As always, anxieties occupied me; was the Interiors clear or not. At least I had plenty of fuel even to come back if the destination weather was not favourable. It turned out clouds disappeared all of a sudden and I was greeted with sunny weather.
