We all know I love hockey. Probably more than I love climbing mountains (but don’t tell anyone). I usually like to play forward but on Fridays I play D. I love to score but even more, I love to deliver a perfect pass. Someday I’ll have to get to one of those racing events in Quebec where they skate down mountains in luge-like tracks…until then, I’m glad to say I have a new climb in my future and I invite you to guess which. I’ll release a photo clue each day and readers can guess. First correct guess will get a souvenir from the climb. Post your guess to the comments section below. The climb is occurring in December.

From Bonavista, to Vancouver Island,Feel like a view? There are free for asking…actually you might need to hike a bit to get this view of the St. John’s Harbour.Sunset over the garden. After an epic delay in Montreal, I made it back home yesterday having done 11 flights in 17 days. What a trip. I’m confused now that the sun sets do early or at all! Spent the last two evenings in the garden. Marian was a garden champ while I was gone.I’m back South, visiting family, on my way back home tomorrow with lots of memories and stories to tell.Thanks all for the wonderful birthday greetings. Our last day with the NTEP cohort ended with time out on the land (and ice) doing some fishing and having a birthday party for two of us that share the same birth date. It’s been another rich and full week of learning for all. I think I’ve found my athletic calling in the musk ox fight game!Happy Birthday to me! It’s always so lovely to be feted and celebrated on my birthday. I love birthdays! They are always a chance to let folks know how glad we are that they were born and grace our lives with care, love, humour, and shared adventures of all sorts. Here’s to celebrating!TA’s Facebook Page

Crosby Mountain?
Great guess…but no. Gotta link the two clues together…and they may be a bit obscure so it may take a few more clues…Thanks, TA
Mt Rainier – said it first, sticking to it!! 😉
Another fine guess but not the one!
I’m looking at the first clue and the main focus is the apple . The next clue I’m looking at the bin with capitals on it. This is pretty far fetched so i thought a washington apple and the capitals . Mts in washington . There are 2 Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams.
I’m going to say Mt Rainier in Washington only because its higher.
I’m liking how you’re thinking-starting to put the pieces together-that’s indeed critical but Rainier’s not the one…though it’s coming up often enough that I may have to put it on the list!
Well I figure it’s a mountain to climb from the first clue… and it has a connection with Sidney Crosbie who scored the winning goal of the olympics in Vancouver, and the team portrayed in the photo with Sidney is the Washington Capitals, but the Washington you may be looking for could be Mount Washington, which is very near Vancouver???
Are you planning to climb the highest peak in the north eastern United States… Mt. Washington??
Hey Trudy-you’re working it…figuring out what the first mountain is might help…and what’s on the go on the ice? Mt Washington is a peak I’ve always wanted to do-especially in winter-people often use it as a training climb for Denali or Everest-its summit has some of the most outrageous winter weather!!! Excellent guess but no…it’s not Mount Washington!
