I can smell the hops - Cheers!

I’m leaning Aspen. They look a lot like birch, but birch would have the classic peeling bark. Hard to tell for sure from the photo, but I don’t see signs of peeling bark. Bitch trees are becoming more and more rare too.

This took me a minute. I kept looking for a misspelling or something. ha, ha.

It was great to bike with you!

It probably is a huge dam. But Mr. Keenleyside's name was Hugh :-) He was a diplomat and later the Chairman of BC Hydro.

Where I live, such signs seem to be permanent. They’ve been up so long the bolts are rusty. It was the “cougar in area” sandwich board I saw on my favourite ride a couple of years ago that spooked me.

And I’ve always thought of them as Dr Seuss Flowers.

Definitely looks different than in the winter!

And the volume is clearly specified, though the word “pint” doesn’t appear.

"Unfortunately when I get there it turns out that RideWithGPS is a bit off: the pavement on Mount Begbie Road ends at mile 0.0, not 2.0."

Now that I've actually tried it for myself, I can encourage you to participate in the OpenStreetMap project by updating road surface data as you encounter errors. It's easy to do and will help improve the reliability of not only OSM but also RWGPS, Strava, and whatever other apps rely on OSM.

Fearlessly, or recklessly and foolishly?

Funny that the autofocus chose to pay more attention to the leaves in the foreground than the figures in the center of the frame.

That looks like a nice sensible ride. Well done, Betsy!

"A skipper!"

And now all I will hear for the next several hours is Gilligan's voice calling out "Skiiiiiiipppppppeeerrrrrrrrrr!". Gee, thanks for that.

Nice landscape shots today. Pint description was mouth watering.
