And a return to Golden, via the Map to the nearest entry to Sodalite Creek. And - this map-book is outdated, many new roads are unmarked and driving all night I find myself high up on unmarked logging roads, the night air is chill, cold even. I blaze a new road, Radium to Golden, I've never been, it's beautiful, pastoral, the sun setting behind the peaks, from Golden down logging road and logging road...
Morning finds me high up on an uncharted mountain, it takes some driving to find my bearings. And eventually I arrive at the "X" I've marked on the map, only to find there is no trail, the map is not the territory, and so this is a bust.
Once again to Revelstoke, North to the Mica Dam, 150 KM of fine asphalt, no traffic, a beautiful autumn evening, too hot in the day and now I've the heater on, following the setting sun into valleys filled with shadow, out, exploring the lakeside past the dam, there are the rocks but the lake is still too high, and this, too, is a bust.
And so it seems that this entire summer, more time off than ever and less finds, and - I know, I know it's all here, but somehow I am missing it...

Which was the longest weekend ever. All weekend long. No idea what to expect for business, hopes for it to be quieter were thwarted, they came and they came and they came, without respite - and you're forever cleaning other peoples tables, washing others dishes, and rolling cutlery late into the night.
And then - finally, late on Sunday night - we've taken to closing Monday/Tuesday - we're done.
Bloody hell, every summer manages to be longer than the last.
But, there's a saving grace, the "Year End" party is running still, until Monday, and so I round up a couple of survivors and we head off to the rave.
And a merry time is had by all, until the next morning when I'm off on other adventures...

Maybe if I were a brooding 20 year old college student with black lipstick. But I'm not and so this rather sadly disappointed. All novels have their time and place - and this one missed it.

This was an enjoyable documentary about a band I'd never heard of, but, following the documentary, I'm more than a little curious to learn more.
Inspiring.
