2012
Hi my Fellow Hikers  
Well spring 2012 is just a round the corner. I see things blooming out and the snow melting away slowly up in the mountain peaks. I'm looking forward to getting back out hiking myself. but so far this winter I haven't been able to hike much myself do to working again. every nice day for hiking, I get called in to work for the same reason, what a pain. but don't get me wrong I love what I do, my point in the end is, there needs to be more sunny days,  cause he cant keep me working every day, even if its sunny.  No matter, when the time comes I'll just take the time and go hiking and work be damned. if its life or slavery, I'll take life.
anyway I'm going back into the Strathcona Park again this summer for more GPS mapping of the trails for making maps, etc. hopefully this winter he didn't get 172% of are normal snow pack. kind of hard to map a trail when its under 6 feet of snow.  

one plans hiked that i am hoping to both this the mine to elk river via Golden hinde. the other hikes aren't planned but i will be back in the Bedwell area and  valley finishing what I started in that area last year.  if I can find a boat for access to the trail head. I'm do marble meadows and hike around Phillips ridge. 
 
closer to home I'll be back to Arrowsmith to work on the that area and re-do mount Moriarty as well.
my wish list of hikes is back to Comox Glacier, but I find it hard to find a ride in and out(or just in), because most can't find their way back out it seems.
