Day 4: Goonies R Good Enough
That’s their time. It’s there time up there. Right now it’s our time…it’s our time down here. That pretty much sums up how I felt about a work-related stuff back home and my tour. It’s my time down here. I … Continue reading Day 4: Goonies R Good Enough
Day 3: Don’t Stop Me Now
Goonies never say die. After two long days on the road I was surprisingly up and alert when my alarm went off at 7am. I’m getting pretty good at the early morning starts. I was able to pack Midnight, suit … Continue reading Day 3: Don’t Stop Me Now
Day 2: Lord Don’t Slow Me Down
I can’t believe I waited ten years to stay in Radium. I loved the overnight stay there and the morning was even better. I enjoyed a coffee on my balcony and breathed in the fresh mountain air before getting ready … Continue reading Day 2: Lord Don’t Slow Me Down

Day 7: Canned Heat
Wednesday, July 16, 2014 I feel that I haven’t adequately painted a picture of just how hot it is here, and the effect is has on….well, everything. It has been 37 degrees every day since I got to Oliver. Even … Continue reading Day 7: Canned Heat
