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

A Sunny Day

After a few days of rain, the sun finally came out to brighten things up and I decided to check in on the Herons at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve. Of course, I have to check in on any other birds and critters while I am there also. According to Google, “Herons lay 2–5… Continue reading A Sunny Day

I Did It

It has been a few months since I decided I was going to walk the entire Vedder River Rotary Trail and I finally finished it twice yesterday. I say twice because each day I walked, I then doubled my walk because I had to go back to my car. I don’t expect that I will… Continue reading I Did It

Yesterday I headed back to finally get moving again on the Vedder River Rotary Trail. I don’t know why they used such confusing signs in the bridge location. I had no problem following the trail until I got to the bridge. Well, I did have a little problem when I got to the huge pile… Continue reading More Than 1/2 Done on Vedder River Rotary Trail

Catching Up

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

A Little Walk on a Cloudy Morning

Yesterday I received a letter from BCAA telling me that my payment had not gone through on my credit card on file and my membership would be cancelled if not rectified. About a week earlier, I had phoned them to renew this membership and was told that it had already been renewed. So, since I… Continue reading A Little Walk on a Cloudy Morning

I am Not used to having Spring in January

Being a lifelong Manitoba resident (until I moved west last summer), I am used to extreme cold with spring finally showing up around the end of March (sometimes) or April (more often). I am loving the British Columbia weather. This may be a one-time thing and next winter may last longer, but I am taking… Continue reading I am Not used to having Spring in January

January 1st wasn’t great for walking, so I took a long walk on January 2nd. My first stop was the Sardis Park/Pond in Chilliwack. This is one of my favourite places to walk – but I have to admit that all the walking spots I’ve found so far are all my favourites – LOL. When… Continue reading A Happy New Year Walk
