Dan in Canada

Once I bought my plane ticket for Canada, Heather, in an impressive display of organisation, booked us a cabin in Harrison hot springs, a popular resort a couple of hours drive from Vancouver. Famous for its hot springs (incredibly enough) and sasquatches (big foot.)

Speeding away from Vancouver (in the fast lane), there were mountains popping up everywhere.

And, before too long, we found ourselves in Harrison hot springs (population: one man and dog.)

We stayed at the bungalow motel, which is a collection of small cabins situated at the edge of Lake Harrison and, I thought, the ideal setting for a teen-slasher movie style murder spree.

The beer game, which requires a crate of Kokanee and at least two hardened drinkers. Each bottle of Kokanee has the statistics of one ski resort on the back (eg. Whistler Blackcomb, Powder King, etc.) These stats are: year opened, vertical (in metres), snowfall (in cm), number of runs. Whoever draws the bottle with the most impressive stats is the winner. Both beers are then consumed and the game is played again with fresh beers.

Our first night in Harrison hot springs: had a great meal and two pitchers of beer in the pub. I was feeling pretty relaxed.

There are a lot of hiking trails around Harrison hot springs- this is the one we chose, for reasons best known to ourselves.

I was more than ready for cougars, bears and bigfoot, as you can see.
