The Big Pause - Day 74 - May 24 - Hike Up a Mountain

We started the morning with a hike up Burnaby Mountain. Carter found a great trail called the Velodrome Trail that starts at the velodrome on the far side of Burnaby mountain. When we arrived the gate to the velodrome was closed but we were able to drive to the next parking lot and then hike back to it. It was only 2.5 km but with 500 steps up the side of the mountain it was still a rewarding hike. The top has some sort of conservation area with some Japanese totem poles. There is a restaurant that was closed. We'll go back post Covid.
In the afternoon we had our first physically distant visit with the Dukes. The plan was to meet in the Gazebo but it was nice out and it would have been a bit cramped so we met on the back lawn. Was good to finally interact with other people in person. Harvey came as well and both families swapped dogs for a bit. Hopefully they don't carry Covid. Harvey seemed quite out of sorts and at one point ended up behind the bench on the deck. I think he was looking for shade. We'll probably start arranging more of these with people through the summer. Meeting outdoors is safe and easy.
