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.
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!
"### **Year 5 - Day 23 – 1283 – August 31, 2025 - The Day the Horse (Did Not Actually) Kick Me**
Let the record show that on this day, we were functional, semi-punctual human beings. The mission: rendezvous with the Polish hiking contingent at 10 AM sharp at the base of Kicking Horse Mountain. The wake-up call: 7:15 AM. The target departure: 8:00 AM. The actual, real-life, no-take-backsies departure: 8:10 AM. I consider this a blistering victory against the universal forces of entropy that usually govern our mornings. We were basically astronauts.

Mt. Loki, 2771 m, is a "cultish" mountain in the Central Kootenay Valley in British Columbia. I had a pleasure of scrambling this mountain in 2020 (see the photostory). This time I had a privilege of guiding to this mountain the two fantastic ladies - Barbara and Teresa - on Barbara's birthday!
