The regular Sunday Strutters were taking a week off this Sunday after last week's gruelling True Blue Mountain. Happily, but disastrously, I had been in Trail playing in a Swiss Teams Bridge tournament. Sue and I had a difficult day at the bridge tables but not as tough as the folks slogging up True Blue.
Today, I went off with 4 other hikers to a place known as Texas Peak. We didn't get all the way to the peak but had a very nice vantage point in all directions from a smaller summit on the route. This picture is looking west and there's a couple of peaks in the picture which are supposed to be easy scrambles. The hiking season is in full swing and today we were happily out of all signs of smoke. In Kaslo's valley there's a big fire just south of us and things are getting hazy in mid-July. Send us some rain!
