July 2024 brought us a mild heat wave, relatively speaking. Nic and I are committed to having our rides done before the heat gets up there. We decided to start our Saturday morning in Squamish by heading up Friday night and crashing at our friends house. Unpack, drink a beer, play a few hands of the Crew and try to go to sleep. Up at 6 and to the Half Nelson trail head for 7:30. Everyone had a great ride. It was good to see Rich have a good ride down. He took a pass on the Tsudo Pseuga portion of the ride, instead opting to grab Ozzie and take him down to the bottom lot for a rest.
Some good eats in the day and walk on the Ocean front to check out the kite surfers.
Another early Sunday and off to Brohm Lake for paddle and a swim. Our dog was tired by then and very barky. Nic and I need to investigate this behavior as he echos off the lake and disturbs the peace. Not only that, when you swim with him he tries to drown you. I had a couple of good knocks to head in the process.
It was a great weekend though, the only annoyance were the obnoxious Persians in the parking lot trying to get us to give them our parking spots before we were ready to leave. We had 4 douche bags trying to move cars around and cram into spaces that were to small, one of them parking right up against the passenger door just before we were about to go. One guy asked Rich to change spots as they were packing up and kicked up a fuss when told no. Seriously? Is that polite in your country?
Our parks are getting seriously over taxed these days. If there aren't garbage cans at the site, that doesn't mean you should just leave your beer cans and paper plates in a box on the side of the park. It means that it's not managed and you should pack out your own shit.
Our parks all need new signage that reads "Don't be an Asshole".
