Travel day 2. Flying GEG-MSP-BDL then drive home. Generally smooth. Home ~1am local time - back to humidity.

Travel day. Driving from Golden, BC to Spokane. Following the Columbia River to its source just north of Canal Flats and then crossing to the Kootenay River drainage passing through a very broad, flat saddle. Stopped in Cranbrook for lunch and a Starbucks fix then back to the US (10 - 15 min at the border).

Hike in Yoho NP from Emerald Lake (where the tourist buses can drive to) to Emerald Basin (where they can't). Spectacular place at the base of an 800m headwall (meters, not feet) with several snowmelt waterfalls and a glacier or two.

A "cooldown" hike to Hamilton Falls (from the Emerald Lake parking lot). More climb than we expected and no really good viewpoint of the
falls. Interesting nonetheless since the water falls sideways recessed in a slot (picture needed!).

C • Falls 1

Several short hikes in Glacier and Revelstoke NPs the most vigorous of which was the 1 km (each way) from the parking area to the summit of Mt. Revelstoke (after a 23 km drive with ~1600 m climb). Spectacular stuff! Hot in the valleys, comfortable on the top.

IOF Advisor Clinic.

Controlling exercise at IOF Advisor Clinic. We visited seven sites in the field to determine what was wrong with them (choice of site, bag placement, control description, etc.). A nit-picking exercise - we excelled! :-)

After six days of injury-free racing over the previous week, I managed to strain my left calf muscle during this physically low key exercise. WTF? Still sore three days later (Friday) but improving. Travel day tomorrow, so more rest.
