Somewhere northwest of Whistler, BC – the guys went hiking for 3 days directly into postcard views! They spotted mountain goats and (smelly) evidence of grizzly bears. From the left- Dan Raney, Nick Raney, Mike Raney, Jay Weimern, and Tim Shoemaker.

 
And if you think the day hikes were thrilling, they were only eclipsed by the horseshoe and card games at night (betting with rocks, sticks and pine cones…no cheating was allowed, but some was suspected).
 
Dinners were cooked on a pot bellied stove in the middle of a rustic log cabin built from logs carved only with a chain saw. We slept in 5 army tents near the cabin.
 
Kevin, the owner/guide, crafted a nifty water system. A 500 ft. hose descending from a creek above supplied all our water needs.
