Exploring the Backcountry

We decided to go exploring this weekend - we borrowed Harold's old truck and headed for the backcountry to Big Bar on the Fraser river. We had to cross the river on a reaction ferry, which uses the power of the current. This route we took goes from Clinton to Lillooet, about a five hour trip - the roads are in good shape, but are gravel and incredibly steep. We needed the clearance of the truck and four wheel drive in some areas and we needed to lock the hubs when we got stuck on a beach ... good thing we took the truck!

Mountain Biking Whistler

Cynthia and I spent this past weekend at the ranch in the Cariboo and decided to take the Duffy Lake road. We stopped in Whistler for some mountain biking on the way.

Four Soccer Balls, Six Cunninghams and a Fountain

We had an afternoon of soccer at the waters edge football pitch in False Creek (Vancouver). This fountain proved to be a great place to stop to wash off feet and soccer balls and a water fight on the way home. Max, Rebekah and Benjamin are all soccer dynamos!
