view from the top of Joffre Lakes Time flies when you're having fun... I guess that explains where the summer went (and why I haven't updated my blog in ages)!
Looking back, this past summer all seems to be a blur of mountain biking, rock climbing, hiking, gardening, visiting the farmer's market, swimming at the local lakes, BBQing and away on island weekends and friends' lake cabins (...plus getting ready for the 100 students we welcomed in the Fall!). Not a bad way to spend a summer!

Squamish was also just featured in the New York Times last week: http://frugaltraveler.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/06/near-whistler-a-place-to-play-for-less/?ref=travel. Uh oh - the secret's out!
