Body Beating
That view was my reward. After a teeny bit of prodding from Jane, here I am blogging again. I know it’s been a week, but what can I say? I’ve become addicted to e-smack. In other words, MySpace (so thanks, Pepper). Anyways, this past weekend my friend Darcy had a fantastic idea to go hiking up in Squamish for two reasons: 1) I desperately wanted to get out of the city and do something active; and 2) I’d never been north of Horseshoe Bay.
I also thought that going to Squamish was a fabulous idea, so I was stoked to go on a little nature hike. Stawamus Chief is not a nature hike. Stawamus Chief is a freakin’ mountain, and getting to the top of the “trail” is a non-stop uphill climb over boulders and roots. There were several times I was sure that I wasn’t going to make it to the top, but once I was there, I was pretty stoked that I kept on pushing. And now, two days later, I’m in an immense amound of body pain and soreness. Plus I’m pretty sure I tweaked my hip real good. This is the route we took:
We started at the trailhead and went straight for the Third Peak, working our way back to the Second and then First Peaks. Needless to say, Darcy wasn’t 100% thrilled that he had to lug our pack up to the top…
However, the point is, we had a great time. By the time we reached the top, it was clear that we both needed some well-deserved beer. Aaaaand, since I’d never been to Whistler before, Darcy made the extra half-hour trip so I could see it and we could grab burgers and beers at Longhorn’s. And my-oh-my there are some luscious males in Whistler. And FYI, next time you’re out visiting just me for a weekend, Ashley, we are so renting a car and hitting Whistler for a day (or a night if I use my corporate Fairmont Hotel rate!)

Ashley…Whistler + you + me = SO ON! You’ll love it…tons of cute little shops, a quaint village, and not to mention the fact that your pupils are gonna get diabetes with all that eye candy! *muah*
Brock, I thought we agreed to keep our mile-high club rendez vous a secret…Now you’ve gone and told everyone about that little ninja role play fantasy we had goin’ on.
Andy, Andy, Andy…silly, Andy. Obviously I ditched the dirty shorts for some Lulus, ran a comb through my hair and gloss over my lips first. And presto, change-o, I’m hot again! P.S. Are we on for Joe’s on Saturday? Cuz I fully miss you.
Christina??? Seriously??
I thought your had more respect for yourself
Austin? Seriously?
I didn’t think you were that judgmental. I gots ta’ think outside the music box.
correction, YOUR pupils!
I got me all the eye candy I need here at home
haha
although, I wouldn’t mind guiding you towards the best, I’ll keep my eyes open
So when are we going to have ourselves this whistler trip?
Hmmm when, you ask? Well the next time your cute little behind is out here visiting me. I doubt August because I don’t have the money this summer to rent a car (I need all my moola for my trip home in August in case I hit Tofino again). But it’s a definite must the time after that!
And I know what you mean about your eye candy at home…I was just stunned by all the bodacious looking men up there.
