"Idź w góry, a otrzymasz ich dobrą nowinę. Pokój Natury popłynie do ciebie tak jak światło słońca płynie ku drzewom. Wiatry wwieją w ciebie swoją świeżość, a burze dadzą ci swoją energię, podczas gdy troski (tego świata) odpadną od ciebie jak jesienne liście."
John Muir (1838-1914), szkocko-amerykański naturalista i propagator tworzenia parków narodowych, współzałożyciel organizacji ekologicznej Sierra Club.

Golden Camp - recapitulation
On the last day, having only half a day for some activity (the rest reserved for the drive home), we followed Pani Przewodniczka (Lady Guide) to the launch pad on Mount Seven. Here we befriended a Bulgarian (!) paraglider, Branko, who kindly agreed that we take a few photos with him.
We quickly realized that our initial objective - Mount Seven (seen in the background), still a few kilometers away and 500 meters higher, was outside of our reach.
Instead, we were admiring the views, taking pictures ...
... and at least in Barbara's case - generating a new karmic desire to ... fly on a parachute!
We also had a bit of time to reflect on the experiences of the trip:
... beautiful views ...
... chairlift adventure ...
... marmot encounter ...
... visiting Boo, the bear ...
... swimming in Gorman Lake ...
... ice creams ...
... and the worst possible ice coffee ...
... while we waited for our friends ...
... dining together ...
... socializing ...
... even if experiencing moments of solitude in the midst of everything ...
... but still loving each other ...
... or just being friendly.
We were all very grateful to Pani Przewodniczka. Our gratitude was best expressed by Mike:
Also Ewa appeared happy with the hosting of our group. Keep in mind that she owns a condo in Kicking Horse, which she sometimes rents out, typically during a ski season.
So all sensually pleasant experiences eventually come to an end. However, I cannot omit one final "excess" of the trip. On our way back to Edmonton we stopped at Fish Lake near Nordegg for a swim. During that stop one of our members apparently changed his gender.
Reportedly, he was distressed by losing a chess match with the Prezes by the score 2:1. Painful as it was, this experiences can be remanded. However, the question arises: Who it is who should now "wciągnąć Gaggi na członka Klubu?" (pull Gaggi on the club's member?)
Until the next time!
