Walbran Trip July or August.

I was inspired by my Hadikin Lake trip of a few weeks ago, and also inspired by the number of friends who said they wished they knew about it or could come… and so have enlisted Kyla to help me organize another trip for later this summer to the Walbran. (For those of you who don’t know, the Carmanah Valley is in the same watershed – it’s just outside of Cowichan Lake). The trip will be about 3.5 hours from Victoria (over half of which on well-maintained logging roads) and about 5 from Vancouver (depending on how adept you are at catching ferries on schedule). But well worth it friends! This is a jewel of a place.

We are hoping to reunite some of our Victoria crew from *way* back in the day, but I would also like to extend this invitation to any of my heart-friends from Vancouver who would like to join us. Children, of course, are most welcome.

I have been thinking about late July or early August (not the long weekend though, it’s too hectic for traveling) and doing something from a Friday morning to Monday (those of you who don’t have such flexible work days could just come Friday-Sunday or whatever). And so Kyla and I have agreed to figure out dates soon. What I would like to know from you (whoever you are that knows me and is reading this) is:

• are you interested in coming along on such an excursion?
• are there any dates that do *not* work for you at all?

Not that I’m promising the dates we pick will work for everyone, but I’d like to find the best possible time for the most people. So please respond to me by email (if you know it), or on tribe or facebook (comments here just get buried in spam)… And I’ll create some sort of a distibution list for planning this endeavour (a large or small task depending on how many replies I get).
