Peru, how we loved you! This South American country is magnificent, ancient, welcoming, and rich in its people and traditions. Hiking the Salkantay Trail was challenging, emotional, spiritual, and utterly life affirming. Here is a photo diary of our adventure.

CHANNEL ISLANDS SEA CAVE KAYAKING & HIKING
This summer, I was on my own and joined a sea cave kayak tour around Santa Cruz Island in the eco-reserved Channel Islands off the coast of Ventura, California. The whole day was phenomenal. There were numerous pods of hundreds of dolphins jumping on the ferry ride over: I’ve never seen anything like it. TheContinue reading “CHANNEL ISLANDS SEA CAVE KAYAKING & HIKING”

From June 8 to 13, 2019, the Tredsup sistas hit Moab, Utah hard on a multi-sport trip that featured hiking, rafting,Continue reading “MULTI-SPORT MOAB”
High School Ski-union
36 years: that’s how long we’ve been girlfriends (some longer!) This weekend, we headed to Karen’s parents’ maple syrup farm for games, tunes, good food and cross country skiing and snowshoeing. As my dad — a sailor — says, “It was blown’ stink” on Friday, with 80 km winds and whiteout conditions. But behind theContinue reading “High School Ski-union”

Banff Hiking Photo Diary 2018
This is a favourite pic. The lakes are bright blue due to glacial silt. Canada, in all her majesty… The seracs, which are blocks of glacial ice which are formed by intersecting crevasses on a glacier, posed a threat so we gave them a wide berth.
