Plans

Finally the easy accessible hash in Brandywine! I'am am determined to get this one, but still have to figure out how (my father is on the road with my van). Maybe bike up saturday, and back sunday. or hitchhike? or if anyone else is willing to join we could figure something out. I would love to bike one way, but a ride back would be awesome Wijnland 14:52, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

Expedition

biked out saturday, 130k to whistler, brutal tour so much up hill. Camped at cal cheak forestry campsites. Sunday up to the olympic park and the geohash (hurrah). Than back all the way with sore body anywhere from biking up... (total dist: 130+18+128 = 276km). Almost got eaten by a bear (or ran in to it) just past squamish going downhill it was sticking its head over the concrete saftey wall on the side of the road and i saw it 10meters before passing by it 1m in front of its nose with 40km/h, that was scary.
