I saw Doc's post and was reminded of the Toy Run on Sunday. It was the 33rd annual....

The bike in front of me with the collector plate is the back of the Honda Goldwing that Doc posted...we were fairly close to the front of the line...maybe only a few hundred back...consider there were over 5,000 bikes...that is close...



I took this one because the paint job was nice...



Even Ironman showed up...he rides a CBR 125....


Our bikes at the destination



I forget how many toys they received, but they also got $23,000 cash. They can get what toys are needed with the cash...

It was also a nice sunny day for a change.

Wonderful! I'm looking forward to doing the Toy Run again next year, it's been far too long!!!

Me and my RVR at the summit of Roger's pass in the Rocky Mountains.



I'm slowly getting my pictures organized. I got sidetracked by my Mom coming to visit for four days and then by the bathroom renovation that 2 weeks instead of one...and then yesterday I had to go back to work. 5 weeks off in a row was so-o-o-o-o-o nice.

More pics soon.

Same reaction as when I visited Nova Scotia: Kanuckistania ain't running out of trees any time soon!!!

Trees are part of the majesty and beauty and clean air. Imagine no trees? It would be just like New Jersey. hahaha Just kidding.

In parts of BC a lot of trees have died because of the pine beetle damage. The wood is still viable, but nobody wants blue wood.

The only thing that will kill off the pine beetle infestation is a really cold winter.

Here is an interesting article.

Maybe in Alberta....

but in southern BC the extreme cold did not last long enough.

Yeah, not many places can do 30F below 0 for 5 sustained days!

5 weeks and we get 1 pic. I think you need to sponsor me to come over there and see for myself

I'll have to save up. I spent a lot on my holiday.
