perfect day

Here's my formula for how to spend a perfect rainy, chilly, windy spring day.

1. Ignore the weather and don your weather-proof gear.
2. stick food and water in your backpack
3. stick 2 dogs in back of very good friend's jeep - remembering to also bring very good friend.
3. drive to trailhead - in this case Mount Tzouhalem.
4. Trek straight up (pant pant) to summit.
5. explore alternate trails down
6. celebrate not getting lost
7. get back in car with very wet and very muddy - and tired - dogs.
8. celebrate making it back by eating Denman Island organic dark chocolate bar
9. drive home
10. clean up dog.
11. hop into hot bubble bath in deep soaker tub
12. curl up on couch under duvet blanket and nap.
13. spend rest of day reading and generally doing nothing.

Yup - it makes for a darn fine day.
