This is a quick post to let everyone know that TA is home safe and sound. She reached 7200 meters on Everest and then had to be evacuated due to altitude illness. TA has decided to keep serving out the Everest curriculum so students and teachers and use it throughout the Everest season to learn, reflect, and cheer on remaining climbers. Here’s to the excitement of the first Everest summits in three years. May all climbers reach their summit goals and have a safe return home.

We had a marvellous “pocket” adventure in St. Mary’s, Gaskers, and St. Vinsent. We biked, hiked, and biked some more. So good to be outside for the better part of two days. Lots of marvellous views!Picked enough bakeapples to make a small batch of jam. Adventures along barrens has benefits!Today’s hike was super ruff as we introduced this cutie to the world of hiking. He’s not ours (but isn’t he just the cutest thing). He was a champion for the first few km then we took turns carrying him as he took a rest. Such fun to watch every hiker we met melt into puppy cuteness as we passed.One of those hike days where it made sense to look down as much as out. The forest floor was a cacophony of greens and purples.TGIF…is there a hiking adventure in your future this weekend? Thumbs up If the answer is yes! We’re headed to a piece of the @eastcoasttrail tomorrow for some hiking and whale-watching-how about you?Where is your road to adventure leading?TA’s Facebook Page
