Because… who can remember?
Yesterday we decided to try the Raven route – it was really fun and we regretted not trying it before. Hilly, but kind of remote and the views were pretty good!
We’ve been skiing almost every day, but it’s starting to warm up now. The night before it actually snowed a bit though.
And now we are the only car in the parking lot
We had really liked this place, plus our hosts Dan and Pavla, when we were here March 17 – 24, and so we arranged to come back for a week after Banff.
After much deliberation, and phone calls with Peter Rice and Lyn Tonelli, Seong decides to take another week of shifts – May 12 to 19. New York City is looking particularly ugly at this time, and Andrew Cuomo is having a moment – he seems to be rising to the challenge. This decision of Seong’s puts some contours on our trip – we are now thinking that we will need to go back to Bellingham in early May to fly to Ketchikan; the oddball routes (via ferry from Prince Rupert, or via mail fight from Hyder) make even less sense than they did before.
So we elect to stay longer and ask our hosts about staying a month, but ultimately book for two more weeks for $375 Canadian per week; our tentative departure date is April 21. The weather still looks good at this point and we are cross country skiing every day.
In fact, we are starting to like this area a lot and are thinking that if/when things get better, we may look into a several week rental rental next winter.
