And we are alive to boot! We actually returned the night of Thursday the 14th, but we had a house to put together here and time to get back into the swing of living in an apartment instead of a tent. To put it mildly, we had a great time on our vacation. We spent a couple days total in Vancouver and Victoria, and 5 days on the trail itself. Pictures are up in the Photos section, here’s a sample shot though:

That is a shot of our dirty shoes (the mud was deep in some places!) as we stood at the center of the Loss Creek suspension bridge. It doesn’t look it in the shot unfortunately, but it’s about 150ft above the creek and made me a little bit leary.

Anyhow, check out the whole album, I’ve given a fairly lengthy description in the album itself but will be creating a whole trip log in the coming week(s) depending on my free time. (edit: triplog complete, view here: Juan de Fuca 2006

As for our apartment, we are still loving it, Kathy has taken to reading on the couch with the fireplace on, it’s just cool enough now to get away with that. Most of our boxes are unpacked and recycled (love not having to take them to the recycling depot, just take them to the cardboard bin outside…score!) and it actually looks like real people live here now. Not a complaint in the world at the moment, short of having to return to work in 2 days…Kathy goes back tomorrow. It’s horrible…but hey, gotta be done.
