Well I'm up for another busy weekend. (not really I'm Exhausted) After work tonight I have time for a quick dinner then off to grad there are two teens from the church graduating. Then home for some laundry then a quick nap then up to be ready to go at 3 am to man check point 2 for the Great Walk. The Great Walk is a 61 ish KM walk from Gold River to Tahsis. I think it also counts as an ultra marathon as some poor fools run it. It should hopefully be good. The road to Tahsis will be closed 4 am - 8 pm I don't think we need to be at check point 2 the whole time I think once the last walker is past us we can leave so who knows what time we will be done and able to have another nap.

Also there is a wedding at the Big House here at Tsaxana and everyone is invited. I may come out to it depending on what time it starts and what time we finish with the Great Walk and how exhausted I really end up being.

Gold River Days

Well last weekend was Gold River Days with a western theme. It was a great weekend for the event. It was sunny and hot and most of the town seemed to come out to it. Friday night started with "Gold Rivers Got Talent". A lot of singing and dancing took place. There was a 5 km fun run although I'm not sure if fun and run should be in the same sentence. Saturday started with a free pancake breakfast at 8 am, parade at 11 then the party in the park for the rest of the day. Free BBQ, bounce-a-ramas, dunk tank and soooooo much more. There were more than a few burns that day but all in all I think everyone had fun and it exhausted the kids so parents would be happy.

May

So its spring now and by afternoon it does seem like spring.  But first thing in the morning especially after nights of rain there is fresh snow on the mountain tops.  Yes you read that right I did type in SNOW.

Flight

Well the flight yesterday was soooooooooooooooo bumpy and rough. The rain was coming straight across the sky not falling straight down. It felt like the pilot was fighting the plane or at least the wind effects on the plane. But he was able to land on the ocean versus the river. So much for nice weather. One does not know what turbulence in a plane is until they have felt it in a small float plane. Especially since on a rough flight you feel more like a rag doll then a person sometimes.

Mind you on a nice day the scenery is beautiful and I would recommend the flight to people but if its bumpy its bumpy.

Lion

Well with the second to last day of march upon us now it is snowing. How wonderful.......

We will see

Okay March came in like a lamb I expect it to go out like a lion. But with all the snow we had last week at the beginning of spring I hope that is the end of the snow for this season. It is raining like crazy today so I don't mind too much but hopefully it won't cause flooding.

This Spring?

So this is what spring looks like hey? The calender says second day of spring but I think the weather forgot to check it out.
