Skully and Maverick Pictures

On the May long weekend, Afsheen, Geoff, Abril, Maverick and I went down to Calgary to see my parents. Maverick did pretty well in the car. He had a spray in his carrier that helped calm him down and he slept most of the time. We saw Afsheen’s friend at Chinook Mall and had a good time with my parents. I took a few pictures of Skully and Maverick. They mostly avoided each other or hissed and growled if they were close.

Christmas 2014

I had a nice relaxing Christmas this year. I went down to Calgary to visit Jaclyn and Pedro. We made sure Skully got her required attention. Played games and relaxed.
We went to visit Stuart and Stacey at Dead Man’s Flats then did a hoodoo walk with their dogs in Banff. We also did a walk around my parents’ neighbourhood.

Grand Canyon!

I just got back from the Grand Canyon for a 6 day backpacking trip.
I went with a company called Wildland Trekking. There was 4 of us plus 1 guide and 1 guide in training.

You can see more details of it here:

We went Down the South Kaibab Trail (rim 1) then up and down the the North Kaibab Trail (rim 2) and then up the Bright Angel Trail (rim 3).
It is pretty spectacular and amazing how quickly the vegetation and rocks change all the time.
We had pretty much perfect backpacking weather. I wore a t-shirt most of the time. The last night was a little chilly but manageable.

After my trip my parents picked me up and I got to see their new place in Tucson and relax for a couple days before coming back to winter in Edmonton.
