Devin and myself got to spend the entrance of the new year with Mike Olson family and friends. I have to say that it was my first time hanging out at Oly's and partying as well. Was a great time and place to let loose a little prior to heading off on Friday to Veracruz, Mexico for a kayaking trip with Esprit Rafting Co.
Mike had a group of Canadian friends that live near the Skookumchuck come down for the holidays that brought fresh Oysters, fish and prawns with them. Hmmmmmm goodness!!
New Years eve we got to try out recycled kayak sledding down a hill on Oly's property with a nice jump or small tree next to it waiting at the bottom for you. Devin found out the hard way the tree would move when you plow into it and then started going full speed down the ramp. We even did a tandum sled run down that was a blast except for the hard landing on you butt. I was quite impressed the use of a old broken kayak.
We did a quick run down the EF Lewis at a really low level and me and Devin were still able to run door #5 on Horseshoe Falls. It was cold. Snow and ice were still on the roads in spots and changing back into street clothes in Oly's shop was a real treat.
Happy New Years and can't wait to see what the new year brings. Maybe me and the midget new boats that aren't broken would be a start. We'll see when we're back from Mexico.
Cheers!!
