The scandalous excesses of Gorman Lake.

 

Gorman Lake is a beautiful lake not far from Golden, BC. It was hiked by a group of our Club Members on 30 August 2025. It was a great experience, but a few "scandalous" things took place, which this story will talk about. If you haven't noticed who is in charge in our Club ... it is Pani Kierowniczka!

This all started the day before, however. Riding with this Lady Eagle, in her white Jeep, we quickly covered the distance between Edmonton and Golden. This is how I can travel to the mountains!

But Barbara was not the only one being capable of impressive ... "rozkrok!" (legs stretch).  Anna did it too. So these are kind of the ladies I like going to the mountains with, and, in Anna's case, also sleep with (in the same bunk bed, of course). 

In the Dreamcatcher Hostel in Golden, which happened to surpass expectations ...

... we were greeted by our Local Guide - Ewa - known as "Pani Przewodniczka." (Lady Guide)

The first excesses took place right there, in the hostel. Prezes was asked to keep his hands on "szmatka" (cloth, peace of paper) on the table, so these hands do not reach to the legs of the ladies sitting next to him. As an old saying of Polish highlanders goes - "ręka rozumu nie ma" (a hand doesn't have a mind). As it occured Prezes, who have long worked on his bad reputation, happened to be, like his grandfather, .... O Chrancuzie ...  a ... "pieron!" (ladies man). 

The next morning we did a 17-km drive on a rough road to the trailhead. Ewa was quite apologetic about this experience to everyone. 

However, I didn't mind that much as it meant 17 km of "ocieractwo" with Anna (brushing my skin against hers). I was however very happy that we drove in a ... Jeep!

At the trailhead, suggesting a 3 km hike (my GPS showed 4.4 km) ...

From the left: Barbarica, Annica, Holiczka, Draganica, Ewica, Petricek, Elwica and Bożenna. Taking picture: Mike. 

... we "reorganized" (Bosnian style) ...

... and then hit the trail, which happened to be quite picturesque!

We were all amazed by Michael, who fractured his leg a few weeks ago. This was his first "walk" after the injury. In fact, he couldn't be stopped even by this boulders field. I assume this "miracle" was a result of him pursuing ... Barbara! (and other ladies?)

There was, in fact, a lot of love on the trail!

We reached the lake in about two hours. 

The trail remained beautiful all the way. After a bit of rest ... 

... (Ewa must have eaten something really awful) and obligatory group photos ... 

... a strategic question arose: "Co by tu dać Piotrowi?" (What should we give to Peter?) If you want to know the answer, click on the picture below. 

Then came bathing in the lake. 

Gaggi (and Michael) immersed ...

... as did Pani Kierowniczka and Bożenna! They both "activated their Kundalini!"

Anna was also tempted, but facing another 17-km ride next to me, decided to exercise some restraint. 

"Kundalini activation" led to further excesses. There were some incidents of "gapiostwo" (voyerism), which you can look at clicking here, not to mention "things happening" down the trail. 

Is it only my impression or is Pani Kierowniczka keeping a hand on Prezes' butt?

Luckily she does everything in ... white gloves!

Many other "things" happened, mostly related to Bożenna's "Kundabaia activation."

In the hostel some ladies even "rozpuściły swoje włosy" (let their hair loose) ... 

... while we all discussed the experiences of this wonderful day, filled with love, friendship, beauty of the mountains, delightful mountain pranic air, and ... lot of laughter! 

Until the next time.
