Maybe in the morning
And maybe in the morning, the sun climbs above McLeese Lake. The birds hop through the trees carefully calling out to someone. Anyone.
Cars roll by on the highway, heading other places than this. Trout jump in the lake.
Maybe some kids come down to walk along the shore. They were swimming in this lake last night. This freezing cold body of water that no sane human would wade into.
The trees drip sap that runs down their bark in great white streaks.
Maybe this is summer. Maybe it's the end of summer. Only a few weeks left until school starts it seems.
I checked my website....the last time I came through he was only 3 years ago. But it seems like such a long time ago. How could it only have been three years?
I feel like our days are so precious and we just toss them away like candy wrappers. I don't really know what to do with my time any more. Maybe it's time to hit the road.
I want to get down to Cache Creek, ride through Hell's Gates, and down the Sea-to-Sky Highway. But Ben isn't here yet. I dunno where that genius is. Maybe he left me. That's fine. It's not a big deal. But now I have to go back 9 km to check and see if he's at his campsite along the Fraser River. See if a bear mauled him during the night.

Hey Boss! I suspect you may never fully recover from this adventure. That may be a good thing...😎
