Re: Octoberfast 2013 - Saturday Oct 12
I'd love to go Bert, but both days are booked solid. I might have a few hours on Sunday morning that makes up my weekend .
Hopefully I can catch the next one.

Matt and I will only go if we have a group of people, so, as things are going, we will look at next weekend, hopefully the weather holds.

Re: Octoberfast 2013 - Saturday Oct 12
Will I need 4wd to get up there? My CAD has issues on the front of the dodge and I won't get a chance before Sunday to look at it.
Also what about dragging kids up there, is the tunnel stable/safe?
If these are workable I think the whole family will come Sunday Keith.

Hey Jay,
As we wanted to get more of the 510 guys up there, to the mine, we are going to look at next weekend.
Matt and I, and anybody else, are going to hike up to the top of Seymour on Sunday, get above the fog. It's not a long hike, couple of steep spots, but, the view with the clouds below is really cool.
Anybody? Chad? We would be at the parking lot by 7:30 ish.

Re: Octoberfast 2013 - Saturday Oct 12
Thanks for the offer Keith, but I think I'm going to finish off my move to the lake this Sunday. Will leave next Sunday wide open for the mine, Saturday next week is not looking good for me at this time so...
Cheers...
Cheers...
In just two days from now, tomorrow will be yesterday.

Re: Octoberfast 2013 - Saturday Oct 12
No takers for the Hike to Seymour?
Matt and I will be in the lot at 8:30 for sure, hike to the sun. If you have not seen Vancouver from above the fog, it is really cool.
Gold Mine thread to be posted.

We used to hike around Mt. Wilson above Los Angeles to get the same effect, incredible to see.

Re: Octoberfast 2013 - Saturday Oct 12
That's a great photo Joel!
That is what he hope to see today, as this perfect air inversion sits above us. Sure tired of the the fog though, grey and damp for the last week.
Hi, Ho,...Hi, Ho,...It's off to the hills we go.....

Re: Octoberfast 2013 - Saturday Oct 12
I can feel my legs tonight, more climbing on this hike.
What a day, at the 500m ( 1,500 f) the thick layer of fog just disappeared, and we were into brilliant early morning light. That's a thick layer of fog. There were hardly any cars yet in the lot, it did not take us long to gear up and head up our favorite route, taking us up past a small lake, still as can be in the morning air.
The view below was an ocean of white, as far as Mt. Baker, all the way to Vancouver island, and filling all the lower valleys and inlets, and as far as the eye could see to the Olympic Peninsula, just amazing.. A city of 2 million people below us, and you would never know it, other than a dull, low rumble from the madness down below.
For some reason, I could really feel my legs today, felt like lead. After a couple of hours we were were at the top of Seymour, sun blazing now, the air had heat to it, pointing out the wonderful air inversion. It was cold and damp back down in the fog when we left White Rock. We sat and had lunch, soaking up some rays for an hour, then parted the top, not looking forward to going back to the grey.
We left home at 7:30 and we were back by 2:30, the fog still as thick as ever, with no sigh of it leaving till maybe Tuesday.
