Woke up today to bright sunshine....perfect day for a hike so just thought I'd share it !!!
So this Hike is not the easiest but I think a view earned is always sweeter and my dog was up for it....


The views started to appear as we got more elevation gain....


This is my PSK, I don't know how some of you guys can carry a backpack all the time, even the most advanced back systems still leave you with a sweaty back when working hard ! Obviously if I was on a multi-day Hike I'd have no choice but to take a backpack !!!


More views but still a way to go yet.....talk about lung buster !


At last we hit the top !!!


I tried out the latest addition to my PSK a new sighting mirror....the little sighting hole really helps !!!


OK time for a well earned cuppa before we hit the return leg <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

As soon as I get my pants from Leatherface I will swap the Ka-Bar for my Dumpster Mutt and hope to take many a pic of that on my travels !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Man I love seeing pics of your hikes Pitman. Makes me want to move to Canada. AZ has its own beauty and I love it here but theres nothing like the green mountains and beautiful waters of Canada. Thanx for sharing.

Thanks Ron, I have always said that beauty can be found anywhere,in some places it just takes a little more looking for !!!

True dat!!

After seeing those pics.....I'm gonna have to make a trip to B.C.

Great pics. Haning out with the dog is a great way to spend a morning.

Cool pics, beautiful view!

I love Vancover It is a nice place to visit.

Great pics. You'll love the "Elf" pants. Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you !

I had forgotten about the phrase Elf Pants....Will dave ever live that down ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

BEAUTIFUL pics Brother, thanks for sharing! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Pitman, Thank you for the photos!!! Very nice and great to see first thing in the mortning when at work. Thank you for posting!!

Now a serious questions. Weren't you afraid of a Bigfoot attack? I hear that they can get real crazy when in their territory. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

If you look at the pics again you will notice my Mutt is constantly scanning the area, she is a highly trained Bigfoot attack dog !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

very nice shots pitman, I'll be moving to Oregon soon and will probably visit B.C. many times. my gf loves it there and wants to move there one day, maybe we could do some camping and hiking bro!

Yeah for sure man just let me know when and I'll get the beers in ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Just for your girlfiend, here are a few pics I took today.....







<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

wow, she likes them! She wants to live on the island too!

and your dog looks like the happiest pooch in the world!

hey pitman was that you in BF that commented in the thread about the TAK and I said I have it in D2, saying you didn't want to offend me, I'm Dantor there! I thought it was funny and took no offense! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah that was me bro !
There is nothing worse than reading a thread when people start putting your knives down, unless you are a mall ninja of course and then you should expect it!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
But all of the Ontario RATS are great blades anyway no matter if in 1095 or D2, it is just like I said on BF if I was going to be sharpening in the field I'd go with 1095 but for all other purposes I'd go with D2 !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I hear ya bro, 1095 is easier, but I've had no problems with D2 (so far) but that deal skunk got is good, did you see the new price? tempting as Mags would say! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Yeah you want to get yourselves here bro, I am not 100% sure what it is you do for a living but I'm sure you would find work here !
I have been here for just over a year now and the novelty is not wearing off in the slightest.
I took this pic today of me and my mutt using the timer on the camera....this is 5 minutes from my house !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

is your dog asleep?

i think BIGFOOT is standing right there
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yup, your right but I had my camo on so he couldn't see me !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

damm those pictures are stunning! I can imagine the smells and sounds <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
thx for posting them, it's almost like; "one day I'll see that!"

Somebodies birthday is tomorrow! Happy early birthday bro!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thanks bro, pity I'll be at work for most of it !!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

wow, working on your birthday and a weekend! if you ever run for office, I'll vote for you!

Hey pitman! great pics bro!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
