"Laugh As Much As You Breathe"

I've had a love/hate relationship with Mt. Finlayson over these past few years....until this past week!  Now, it's all about the love!  Why the change of heart you ask?  Well, I've always heard about the back way and how it's so much easier to head down the mountain that way rather than gambling with your life coming back down the front side. Guess what? They weren't lying.  It takes, like, 10x longer to get back to the car, but there's no scary steep cliffs to worry about!  I forgot that I hiked this Mt. a few weeks ago, but since then, I've hiked it 2 more times with my friend Heather!

Today, we had so many great LOLs coming back down.  It's great to have a good laugh til you cry session every now and again....this weekend has been full of them and that makes me happy :)

These were taken during my first hike with Cora a few weeks ago.....I vote this to be the best hike in Victoria (within a 20 min drive :) )  The reason: It kicks my butt every time I do it and believe it or not, that's a good thing!

See, I wasn't lying..

Totally sweating by this point..lol....ya, I'm hot!

This guy was a fatty! I've never seen one so big before...

Goldstream...the oil catcher is still in the water from an  accident awhile ago that spilled fuel  into the stream killing tons of fish!

There you go! I hope you guys get out there before the summer leaves us.  Give me a call, I'll tag along :)  I guarantee a few laughs along the way!
