Been a while, but recently got a chance to fly some rockets with the club. Put up 11 flights. Silo flew again, on a D12-5 and it was perfect.
And, did the Astrocam two staged this time, C6-0 to C6-7.

That didn't feel too good, but I'm ok. Only took out a dead tree by the roots at >20mph... #MTB #BikeTooter
Yesterday. The kiddo. Did some fun rides even after he raced hard the day before in >90F temps. #MTB #BikeTooter
Banff. Healy to Simpson pass loop/lollipop hike. Probably one of the most gorgeous hikes ever. At the pass, it was water and wildflowers, with a bonus view over to the amazing Pharoah Peaks. 12.9 miles with 3058' of gradual gain. Not a difficult hike at all. Going there? Do this hike.
More pics in thread.
Banff black bear. Just up the hill from the campsite. We saw six black bears in various spots during our two weeks of hiking. Sadly, no grizzlies.
Athabasca Glacier. Jasper National Park.
Walking on this glacier was a life-changing experience. Beauty in every aspect you view, but fear and sadness seeing where it used to be. 100 more years and it will cease to be. Seeing some things in person hit a lot harder than reading or seeing photos.
Our guide Mel from Icewalks was awesome! I just wish we had done the full day vs the half. 😃
