Kevin, Kevin’s father Ton and I got back to work early in the morning, continuing to haul down the walls of the garage.

After work, I went BACK to Goldstream Provincial Park, BUT this time I would be climbing Mount Finalyson. I was cautioned for making this decision…
I went up the South face, which is rocky and fun to navigate. There is also a face around the North side of the mountain, which is a softer path and easier to manage… just wanted to let you know for when you get you there.
On the summit were awesome views of the surrounding valley.

On the way back home on the highway, I stopped at the Malahat Mountain viewpoint. It was cool.
