Monay Hike - November 24 PDF Print E-mail
Written by John Dudley   
Friday, 21 November 2008
“The trouble with weather forecasting is that it's right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it.” 
~Patrick Young

The Environment Canada forecast for Monday reads:
A mix of sun and cloud. Low plus 5. High 8. which sounds perfect for a stroll in the forest, but based on the quote above maybe a person shouldn’t get too excited about what they are forecasting 4 days away. The plan for Monday is to meet at the top of Sunset at 8.30am and hike up towards the Lions, but instead of crossing Harvey Creek carrying on up the trail.

From this area you get some great views of the West Lion, so bring along a camera. 

As stock markets plunge and the jobless rate rises I thought the following quote was quite relevant, especially the part written in red:
 
"There is an intense but simple thrill in setting off in the morning on a mountain trail, knowing that everything you need is on your back. It is a confidence in having left the inessentials behind and of entering a world of natural beauty that has not been violated, where money has no value, and possessions are a dead weight. The person with the fewest possessions is the freest. “
-   Paul Theroux, The Happy Isles of Oceania

Rain Dance PDF Print E-mail

Bathing me in quick-silver notes
Of tip-toe highs
And
Broken hearted lows

Rain

Tap dancing like Fred Astaire
In rat-a-tat rhythm.

Flattened islands of rain-drops
Meld
Into seas of gloaming wash.

Dance Fred
But no more rain dance
Extravaganzas
Please.

Kick high your heels like
An Arizona pony

Dance me a rainbow.
Choreograph me
 A sun
Spun from pots of gold

Lick my rain world

Dry.
