Squamish!!!

After much anticipation, some car maintenance and some creative packing skills Paul and I crammed and squished ourselves and our lives into a Toyota Corrola and started driving West. We made our first stop in Sicamous to hang out with Paul's brother Jason. After a good nights sleep we spent a wickedly beautiful day exploring around the area and eventually ending up at Seymour -a small settlement on the far north tip of the Seymour Arm on Sicamous Lake where we strolled the beach, ate the most expensive veggy wrap lunch imaginable and took a dip in the lake before wrapping up the day at the drive-in movie theater in Enderby. From Sicamous we went south to Penticton and spent the next three days climbing the amazing gneiss cliff bands of the Skaha bluffs. Just as we finished up the Preface and Asshole of August link-up and were really getting stoked on climbing a mid-day thunder-boom rolled in and got us soggy. Really soggy. So we packed up and drove to Abbotsford where we caught up with Paul's buddy Lowlle, got the pleasure of a shower, bed and good hospitality. Now we are on to Squamish!! We have some leads on some free camping spots and are hoping to be able to meet up with some friends when we get in. Then the climbing begins, muwhahahahahahaha!
