Cantharellus cibarius

Hello people!

I told you in my last post that the previous weekend supposed to be a calm weekend. Well, it rained the whole weekend and I spent most of the time at home.... But....!!!

... we also went mudding on Saturday and mushroom picking on Sunday.

You might wonder what mudding is?! 
You buy a 4runner, let it rain and don't worry about  your vehicle. 
Here is a short Video from last Saturday with Taylor's 4runner, he drove and I was the passenger. 

Yes, I was a little scared, this always happens when I don't steer the vehicle ;-)




And on Sunday we picked mushrooms (Chanterelle) near Port Renfrew... 









Braden drove through a puddle! :-) 


It was very deep and a wall of water went right over the hood. That's why the engine flooded :-(


Turn up the volume!
V8



















Mushrooms for one week :-)

Yammi Yammi!!!


Bye Chris

Road trip to the Smith's Family

Hello Guys,

I hope you all feel good and you did enjoy the nice summer time. Now it gets cold and frosty and Christmas is just around the corner. Anyway! I've got a couple new pictures for you... 

Last Monday I came back from another road trip! A road trip to the Smith's (Calgary, Alberta)!
Who are the Smith's? Well, Kathy (German) is a good old friend of mine. She used to play in the same brass band than me. She is a bit older than me and took care about me and all other young kids when we had our yearly brass band youth weekend :-) This is long time ago xD
She did "work and travel" in Canada and fell in love. I guess in love with Canada and a Canadian. 

Unfortunately (for us), she moved to Canada about 8 years ago. Now she got two beautiful children (Sophia and Sienna) and the perfect Husband Ian. I enjoyed that weekend with them a lot and I like the Smith's!
I hope we will meet up again very soon. And next time we gotta eat Sushi.. haha... :-)

How come that I do another road trip? Do I have to much money? The answer is "No"!
I caught the opportunity to do this trip with Guido. Guido went to a Scooter Rally in Calgary. So he spent time with his scooter buddy's and I took his Jeep and went to the Smith's...

Let's go...!


















We spit our trip in two steps so we could enjoy the drive through the Rocky Mountains. 
We've stayed at a Motel in Golden, BC.

































Short break for launch in Banff...














So I dropped Guido at his Hotel. We double checked his Scooter and I was good to go!
Welcome to the Smith's...








































Thanks again for your hospitality. It was a fun weekend!

I picked up Guido at his place where all the scooter buddies were. Nice people!!!











And back home !!!





World largest Truck. Pff... :)





















Looks like a little water fall...


Run to the water fall! Maybe its worth it...




Yeah, it was ... :-)









And again the route we drove... 



Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed it again to see me coming around ;)


This weekend is gonna be a calm weekend! But maybe I can provide you with a couple of pictures.
We'll see! I wish you a good weekend :)

Bye Bye,
Chris
