I enjoyed a lovely lap on the North Head Trail today-it had been too long!I enjoyed both attending and photographing a women’s chain saw workshop yesterday. It was sponsored by the Becoming an Outdoors Woman program. I brought a camera along and it was a challenging activity to capture as I had to avoid getting hit by falling trees, getting oily sawdust on my lens, and trying to capture faces in the midst of folks wearing fairly intensive PPE. I wanted to capture a mini story for each participant about their experience of using a chainsaw. Here’s one of the attendees in action.Proud of HKR 2545/3220 student performance yesterday. 3 degrees, wind to 60 km/h, & rain. We were out practicing their outdoor living & leadership skills & from the smiles-rocking it! Warm, dry, & comfortable in foul weather-that's adventurous learning at its finest! @memorialuniversity @memorialustudentsWe were driving home from teaching outside, looking forward to a hot dinner, and looked over at Long Pond. It was like glass and we both said, “Let’s go paddling.” The pond was three feet higher than yesterday and we shared its glassy surface with muskrats, ducks, and ducklings. A truly peaceful end to a lovely albeit cold and rainy day out. The sun may have even peaked out for a minute or two.When a big view makes you feel small on the outside and big on the inside.The barachois in Freshwater Bay always captures my attention (and provides an invite to pause and look) while on a hike on the @eastcoasttrail #hikenlTA’s Facebook Page

TA Loeffler's Adventures that Move 
Hey TA, Loving the audio updates! Question(s) for you from all of us at Easter Seals…How cold does it get at the high altitudes and is there any wildlife along your trek?
Keep up the great work! Keep trekking we’re all rooting for you!
Mark
Hey I’ve been trying to find information on advanced base camp on the internet, however information is limited. I’ve been looking into doing a day trip from Ama Dablam base camp to ABC, if it is possible? Would I need to obtain a climbing permit to get to this point? Can you shed some information on route conditions? We are doing the three passes trek, and would like to incorporate this as a side trip. Thanks for your help!
-Jocelyn
Hi-It would quite the side trip to ABC unless you were well acclimatized. I remember it as quite the grunt. I’m sorry that I can answer your question about whether or not you would require a permit to go to advanced base camp. I’m thinking you might since that would be more on the climbing route than the trekking route but I don’t know for sure. Enjoy your trip.
