Squamish

After doing some running around Saturday morning, picked up a few friends in Vancouver and headed up to meet up with others down in Squamish.  The group we met up with was up there for a month to climb.   Since the crew and I didn’t climb, we found a local lake and spent both days jumping of cliffs and soaking up the sun.  We drank a lot of beer and did a lot of jumping.

The name of the lake slips my mind but it was pretty warm and seems like it would be a good one for some open water swimming.

Tulameen Vaction

Spent my weekend up in Tulameen, British Columbia,  3 hours Northeast from Vancouver up the number 3 highway.  Tulameen can also be accessed  from the Highway 97c, Coquihalla Connector Highway.  It was a very warm weekend with a large group of people gathering at a friends cabin a few blocks form Otter Lake.  Lucky we had a boat and a few quads to enjoy while we where up there.  We took  full potential of this area.  This is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots to go in the summer for many reasons.

1) its an all year round spot if you enjoy sledding in the winter, and quading in the spring and summer

2)lake is big enough for wake boarding with multiple boats.

We did some early Canada day drinking and fireworks, while some of us got on the boat for a ski.  Water was warm enough not to wear a wetsuit, so that also meant that it was go time for the rope swing.

I was also able to grab some night time shots of the outdoor rink that they have up there, even found some pink skate gards that where left from the winter.  check out my flickr.
