On the way out of our great city we stopped by nearly every important place their from our last 7.5 years. I will miss them all...
The boys new house, sarah's house, the junction studio, Union street house and finally leah's first elementary practicum school. (Vancouver 2004-2011)
We played hide and seek with the rain clouds this morning but finally snuck away when we hid behind burnaby mountain. Since then the day was great! Highlight would have to be a beautiful path along Pitt lake. Props to Brett for showing us this plus successfully helping us navigate the horrors of suburban Vancouver. We got a bit turned around in Pitt meadows but nothing big!
We also saw a suburban coyote and heron doing what they do best! Video and pictures to come someday day... :)
Safe and sound, and moderately tired, it was a great day 1, ~75 days to go!

So happy you're blogging about this adventure Evan! I presume the hardest part of the journey will be the first little bit, first getting used to biking every single day and secondly because it's BC which means wet weather and tough mountainous conditions.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up, we're all rooting for you guys :)

The SPOT messages are great! Well done. The hole in the boat is getting smaller - maybe 74 days to go. Steve
ReplyDeleteYou must have rode right by my old house (the house I grew up in, along Hwy 1/1st ave in Mission, near downtown)!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're well! Keep safe!
