Dinner and a Hike July 29, 2012

When the suggestion for a hike and dinner comes up we jump at it ... and that suggestion had 5 of us heading out across Skidegate Inlet ... 2 trips in the skiff, a bit damp from the spray ... wet bottoms!

But once on Maude we were greeted with a wonderful array of treats ... and then slowly we roused ourselves for a hike out the beach and back through the woods!

A small shower had passed over earlier but off we went, sneakers, umbrellas, wind jackets ... a tich less prepared than normal. Temperatures were fine and showers abated. On we went about 20 minutes to Sandiland Pass and then we decided to cut inland to link up with the trail across through the woods ...

"Cut inland" didn't mean there was a trail ... there wasn't, but fortunately it was beautiful country so we didn't mind bushwhacking a bit until we did hook up with the trail. Now some of us had walked this trail a few times but always heading in the opposite direction so it was almost a new experience!

Question of the Day? Do you get wet if it is raining and you are walking in very heavy canopy ... that is the question that we now know the answer!

Back in time for a fantastic dinner with 2 desserts, more conversation and another boat ride on a wonderful evening, flat calm no wind. We are so lucky to live where we do and have the friends we have.
