I hear that the best way back from there is to keep your head straight, never inflate the cranium and to not be too worried about them honeys at the Palladium.

It is a weird microclimate. Many of your membranes become insane.

Yah ive been having to do it the past 6 summers. Its a great workout but its hell to avoid all the little shits sliding into your ankles

/the good thing was adults who were required to supervise didnt have to pay to go on it

Spent 4 days in Southeastern Alberta in Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park just south of Medicine Hat. Very cool place that I'd never visited before.

For those interested the Cypress Hills are a group of hills and plateaus that are surrounded by the prairies. During the Wisconsinan glaciation, and Medicine Hat's favourite son @dash's youth, the prairies were inundated with ice (then water). This collection of hills was one of the only places in Western Canada that wasn't glaciated and the result is a cool little oasis in the prairies. Definitely worth seeing.

A great app for trails/hiking/exploring is Alltrails in case any of you are into that.

Weve driven the highway from merritt to kelowna so many times and didnt realise we were driving past so many great places that werent too far off the highway. This is Marquart lake

Did you know that the elevation of Cypress Hills Provincial Park is greater than the town of Banff (1,468 m as compared to 1,383 m). I have been there many times, Elkwater Lake is a good place to go swimming or water-skiing and they have skiing in the winter time.

Pennask Lake (again off of the 97 but much more difficult to get to - final 4 kms of forestry road takes 1 hour to drive through by 4x4) is 1450m high. I learned it provides 40% of the BC provincial rainbow trout hatchery needs. Crazy that 1 lake could provide that much

Most of my summer travel is usually not vacation related, but I get to do some fun stuff occasionally on weekends when I have a multi-week trip.

Visited the DMZ a couple weeks back. Definitely an odd experience but totally worth it.

GF saw him here in Charlotte a few weeks back. Said the show was unbelievable.

I missed it because I was - fittingly for this thread - out of town.

I’ve actually seen him 3 times. The orchestra thing is a new twist. Thanks for the heads up.:)
