Hope everyone had a Happy Valentine’s Day and President’s Day. February is just full of holidays, isn’t it? Oh, and we shouldn’t forget, the holiday of Schuss Editor, Sharon Albaugh’s birthday, on February 7th. This year’s birthday for her happened to coincide with the Superbowl. Shame that the Ravens aren’t playing, but I am sure it will be a great game, or at least the commercials will be. I hear that there won’t be a traditional Budweiser commercial. Wonder if there will be a M&M’s one, or Snickers – those are always cute. And speaking of February holidays, Happy Groundhog Day!!!!!! Looks like Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow which means six more weeks of winter. No, wait, isn’t that where we started this message.

  • A Story from Seymour Mountain's History
    A story from Seymour Mountain’s history When you hike or snowshoe out to the bluffs we call Dog Mountain, do you stop at First Lake, look up and see the red cabin and wonder, “Why is it there? Who uses it? How do I get to it?” One day John Heinonen was talking about it with Louise Archibald, a librarian with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Imagine his surprise when she said, “My uncle and his friends built that cabin.” Her uncle, Edward Rayner, is now in his 80s and lives in Roberts Creek. John encouraged Louise to visit her Cabin on Seymour Mountain, circa late 1940s uncle to learn more about the cabin and its history. Louise has fond memories of the years when her family used to go for hikes and blueberry picking on Seymour Mountain. ”The hike to the cabin was a lot of fun with all the cousins and sometimes friends along too. In groups of up to 30 of all ages, we’d have simple picnics in and around the cabin with the little lake below it and the whiskey jacks begging for food. There were lots of places for kids to climb and it has such a gorgeous view, you always felt wonderful after a day like that.” Louise interviewed Uncle Ted on February 6, 2011. Here are his recollections. Ted started hiking up Seymour Mountain1 when he was 15 years old (about 1938). He and four friends around the same age, who all lived near each other in the Vancouver Heights2 area, would cycle to the bottom of the mountain near Deep Cove, hide their bikes in the bush and hike all the way up the mountain by trail.

  • BMN Hike: Grouse Mountain Via Mackay Creek
    BMN HIKE REPORT Grouse Mountain via Mackay Creek (May 16, 2015) by Mark Johnston On the Mackay Creek Trail. Chloe Tu photo. At the start of the May long weekend, five us of gathered for a return trip to the North Shore mountains, this time a hike up much visited Grouse Mountain but by a route that sees relatively little traffic. Our leaders, Rich and Janet, were familiar with the trail; for the rest of us it would be a new path. It was a cloudy day and as the ceiling was fairly low, we wondered whether, higher up the mountain, we would have any views. Our plan was to hike the Mackay Creek Trail to Simic’s Trail and then proceed along the Cut ski run until we reached “The Peak of Vancouver.” Parking at the base of the Skyride, we headed east along the power line right-of-way toward Mackay Creek. As we walked, we took notice of dame’s rocket and buttercup in bloom and enjoyed occasional views of Greater Vancouver. As it would turn out, these would be our only distant views until our descent via the aerial tramway three hours later. Just past the bridge over West Mackay Creek, we left the power line, climbed up the gravelly bank and entered the forest. Initially we stayed quite close to the rocky creek bed, but soon our trail veered east, away from the creek, and after awhile we came within earshot of the East Mackay tributary. Never approaching as closely to this branch, we stayed high on the ridge between tributaries and gained elevation steadily with a minimum of switchbacks.
