2022-05-23 Citywalk Announcement

 

Citywalk

I didn't think it was going to happen this year, but I was wrong. Citywalk 2022 is in the planning stages. I have a date and two potential route options. I can't reveal all of my secrets at this point.

The home team, Saskatoon, has scored 4 points. I am sitting (or shall I say walking) in a comfortable lead with 9. Hoping to make this year #10.

Vin, David, and Bri are all hungry to put a 'W' up on the board. Will this be the year?

Date: 2022-06-11

This is a Saturday. Hopefully, it works for you. I haven't settled on an exact time. Typically, this is gather at 4am--Depart at 4:30

Route

Currently the plan only definitively excludes climbing fences. Last year, Vin was done in by a rough landing which tweaked his knee and Bri has also railed about the shortcomings of fence climbings on the many walks she has attended. To be honest, I think only James and I actually like the fence climbing, so I can let it go for the good of the many. 

Get in touch with me if you want to join in for a little or a lot.

Perhaps there is a school you can attend that will teach you how to find perfect gifts for your friends. I haven't been there, but I know someone who should be lecturing. From the hands of the man who brought me lock-picks, Swiss army knives and countless... Liquid Metal ... dangerous (previous blog entry) Prince Rupert's Drops ... adventures !(another old post) I give you Shape Lock , which is a brand name for something more generally known as "friendly plastics" or polycaprolactone (wikipedia). We had loads of fun with it the first day, but had to keep it on a shelf for a few days to allow me to speak directly to other humans. Even then concentration was difficult. My mind raced constantly thinking of cool uses for this stuff. Eventually, when the Christmas hubbub was dying down, I settled on a project that I've wanted to attempt for a long time -- making a custom attachment for my Gorilla Pod . Before we go any further, if at any time you find yo

If you see Lake Louise, start walking in the other direction

These direction might be a little bit rough. You could probably get away with these type of vague instructions on the prairie without becoming seriously lost. Although death from boredom is a distinct possibility for some. At any rate, the title of this post gives you a pretty good idea how to begin my latest mountain expedition. As always, I was guided into the wilds by fellow Quester, Dave Aschim. We are starting to have a bit of a mountain legacy: 2009 ,  2010 , 2011 , 2014 , and now 2015 A map with a rough route drawn on it can be found here . One more note. I took a series of "geo panoramas" or " photospheres " as Google calls them. If you follow one of the links to Google Maps (I tried to imbed on the site, but failed), it isn't just a static image. On a laptop or desktop PC, you should be able to click the compass or click and drag the image to see an entire 360 degree view. The resolution isn't as good as my DSLR camera, but for now, it is stil
