The 'new me' hiking along the Gold Creek in quest of the falls.
Sunday morning, Golden Ears Provincial Park. This is how the day started, rainy, with fresh snow on the ground.
So, the vehicle of choice became the FWD, especially with the road changing to a muddy gravel pit.
The hiking trail was a mud bath, and I was glad I brought my waterproof boots. Sneakers would have gotten stuck and irrecoverably lost.
Note to self: Buy gaiters for next outing in the mud. As Keith were saying: it's all about the gear.




What a beautiful hike! And blue sky with lovely white clouds drifting by. Thanks for taking me along!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure. Thanks for commenting.
DeleteBeautiful photos and, even with the morning snow, what a great day for a hike. I'm not sure I'm looking forward to mud season.
ReplyDeleteMud season started five months ago. You think you get used to it...
DeleteAfter the rains comes mud. Lots of mud. Great day for a hike though.
ReplyDeleteI love the first picture of you walking along. It looks so serene .... just you and nature.
Me and nature... sans the wild animals ;-)
DeleteWow, those are gorgeous pictures. I would have braved the mud, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, one gets over it. I don't even bother with shoe polishing any more.
DeleteYou should put some knobblies on the Vespa.....that would be fun. Getting out in the fresh air is ever so good though.
ReplyDeleteKnobbies on my Paolo? Over my dead body...
DeleteOokie, wet, muddy mess...looks like a wonderful day!! Great images. Serene in the forest.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great day. I could do without the mud though.
DeleteBeautiful hike and photos of the scenery. I love hiking, but it's so hard to find time for it. I agree, you picked the right shoes, er boots for the job. That's quite the mucky trail.
ReplyDeleteFinding the time... here's my recipe: work less, spend less time in front of a computer, and most important: hire a cleaning lady ;-)
