Bridal Falls, last full day October 06, 2022

A day in the life…Wednesday was such a hectic day, we decided today would be un-hectic.

Breakfast done, it’s fire & coffee time!

During our stay, it has only rained once. Each morning starts off with a chilly hazy, the sun burning through 11ish with the day’s highs in the mid to upper 20s. Today is no different, we especially like the heat the fire gives off to heat our bones.

Fire done, it’s time to bid adieu to the falls.

Still not a fan of uphill walks, here we go. Last falls visit of this stay. I know I’ve said this several times, here I go again. I wish UP photos would depict the actual UP!!

Goodbye Bridal Falls

Hello! (well deserved) rewards

Goodbye water park that has been “closed for the season” since we got here. It does look like it would have been fun.

Back at Bailey we have our step goal at 152p! We ROCK! Well, I seem to rock a little more than Allan 🙂 The day’s not done, more steps to come

Today’s (uncalled for) words of wisdom

Next up, cards. Settle on Omi’s card game, it’s a version of Rummy. She loved it, so do we. Game plays 10,000, hum who won? Anyone play the Monopoly card game? It takes about 20m a game, Allan is a fan and I’m starting to warm up to it.

Fall leaves

Evening fire

From all this wood

To only one piece left, we made our goal of getting all the wood burnt

Late night snack, grilled cheese

Yummy Good night

1st October weekend, 2022

Saturday Oct 1st – Hope, BC

This Hope visit we start at the Visitor’s Centre. Travel tip: Visit the Visitor’s Centre, we always walk away with interesting facts and stuff to do/see we wouldn’t have known otherwise. This time we learn there are 80 chainsaw statues, we start the self-directed walking tour but didn’t get to them all.

Big bear, little bear

Bear fighting eagle

Dude hiding from bear. Seems we are all about them bears!

Hope, we learned at the Visitor’s Centre, is where the Coquihalla River meets the Fraser River.

Back home for the obligatory fire!

Sunday October 02 – Sardis Park, Chilliwack. The description sounded like Fairy Lake, our favourite Newmarket park, it turns out it is just much smaller

All those dots in the lake are Canada Geese! Happily they are not as mean as Newmarket’s geese!!

These guys are so very noisy! We walk around the lake a few times and venture out to the connecting subdivision, at 8k steps back at the lake it’s

time for “rewards”

Here they are!

And just like that, they all, as one, fly off. It really was interesting to see, also curious how this recorded sideways

Gonzo!! All gone!

The lake, before & after!

Back to Bailey for fire time
