Since I moved to B.C. about a year and a half ago, I have been walking quite a bit. I have several favourite places to walk, but there is one that is a little over 18 km to walk. I have walked it all – but not in one day – until Yesterday! I wasn’t… Continue reading I Walked the Whole Trail

Since arriving in Chilliwack and tackling the Vedder Rotary Trail last year, I have only visited bits & pieces of the trail – but a couple of days ago, I decided I would walk further and see how that went. I started at the bridge on Vedder Road at the zero marker and I walked… Continue reading The Start of My Second Vedder Rotary Trail Walk

The senior’s group here in Chilliwack continue to schedule bus rides and although I don’t go on every trip, I do often take quite a few of them. Yesterday it was a trip to the Vancouver Aquarium. I believe I was at the aquarium several years ago when I drove to B.C. to visit my… Continue reading Vancouver Aquarium

I continued walking and snapping photos for most of the entire time we were on Gibson’s. I also stopped into a few of the stores where had lunch in one place and dessert in another place. A couple of times, I thought about buying something to take home – but then thinking about the bus… Continue reading A Trip to Gibson’s – Sunshine Coast – part 2

The Seniors’ Resource Society in Chilliwack has a great variety of trips for local seniors to take at a reasonable cost. I have mentioned some of the trips before, but really have to thank the resource society for making these arrangements for us to enjoy. Since I am fairly new to the area, I am… Continue reading A Trip to Gibsons – Sunshine Coast

It has been just over a year since I packed my belongings and headed west to British Columbia. I have settled in at Chilliwack and am loving every minute. There is so much that is available to seniors – some is completely free and others have fees involved (but not high fees – just enough… Continue reading Sucia Island Picnic Cruise

Sardis Pond has been pretty quiet over the winter. Although some birds stayed, most went somewhere else. Some of the birds there today might stay for the summer and some of them might head further north after taking a break here. I needed a short and easy walk after yesterday’s longer than usual one, so… Continue reading Sardis Pond is a Busy Place

It has only been a little over a week since my last post, but it has been a busy few days. I was afraid that I had lost all the photos on my last walk, but luckily (since I was uploading on a pc that I hadn’t used in months), the automatically delete option was… Continue reading Catching Up

According to the signs at the Reserve, the trail walking on the side of the lake where the Herons nest will be closed beginning March. Otherwise the number of people walking by the nests would disturb the Herons. I’ll still be able to zoom in on the nests from the other side of the lake,… Continue reading Adventures at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve
