Well let’s talk about the hike! Eleven hikers decided to take on the Bluffs and Mt. Galiano Loop hike on a beautiful, sunny Saturday. And guess what? Every single one of them made it to the finish line, despite the fact they were huffing a puffing like a steam engine.
Special thanks to Dave, who led some of the hikers on a five-minute detour to the old Galiano cemetery. Because you know, nothing SCREAMS “fun Hike” like a quick trip to the graveyard. But hey, at least they got to pay their respects to some long gone Galiano residents.
Up on top of Galiano, everyone was treated to some stunning views of the surrounding scenery. And what a better way to enjoy the view than by discussing the local ant and beetle population? Riveting conversations, folks, and riveting stuff.
The Galiano Soap Works Store continues to make a killing selling Epson and Bath Salts to some of the North Shore Hikers. I guess sore muscles are the price you pay for a day of hiking and bug talk. All in all it was a great time with great company.
Some of the hikers, in case you were wondering were Galiano newbies, but they handled the challenge like pros. Thanks to everyone that joined in on the fun!
PS. When the conversation came up about the roses and thorns of the day. It was concluded that it was a day of gorgeous roses, with little thorns!
