Mount Steele CAbin Fever Fun :D
The morning of our New Year’s trip
We boarded on a Ferry Ship
To Langdale, Gibsons, and beyond
And soon to Sechelt, did not take long
Eleven people joined this group
Eager for some Hot Pot Soup
And then to celebrate 2010
On Mt. Steele and back again
Asghar, Sook, and Windy came
And so did Dada, Rick and Rain
Also too Lao Jung, and Tony
Myself and Daisy with food a plenty
Lulu kept the group together
We’re set to go despite the weather
Through wind and rain and snow and hail
Our CROSSNA team it did prevail
Steele Cabin was our hope that night
But Edward's (cabin) was a welcome sight
Lulu got the Hot Pot going
While Cabin numbers just kept growing
We ended up with twenty five
Including those who slept outside
The night was long and full of fun
With food, and drinks and songs we sung
Two men had brought their Ukuleles
And home made Liquor, far better than Baileys
They shared their whiskey and talents with us
Playing songs with hardly a fuss
Lao Jung and Lulu provided a pleasure
By offering massage and acupressure
Dada took pictures and Rick held the light
While playing a short game of Charades that night
Slowly but surely we all went to bed
Sook, Lulu, and Daisy to their tent they fled
Tony stayed up just a little bit longer
And slept in a snow fortress
Which he made much stronger
Asghar found a cozy corner
Near the stove and much warmer
We mostly slept without a snore
While others still partied with a roar
The next Day we got organized
With packs that had been much down-sized
And headed out onto the trail
Up to Mount Steele in a coastal Gail
We carefully climbed a gully place
Giving each a little space
When Steele Cabin came in site
We chose to stop for some respite
Then to Mount Steele it was our hope
But chose to avoid an Avy slope
We did however reach the top
Of a lesser summit at which we stopped.
At days end we did return
To Edwards Cabin where we did learn
That some folks left and some had come
But just enough to have some fun
There was some Hot Pot left to cook
And shared with others who had a look
Melting snow it kept us busy
And then relaxed and took it easy
Asghar slept downstairs that night
And kept the burning embers alight
The Final day to our delight,
The sun came out and shone so bright
We took some group pictures at the end
And said good bye to our new friends
The short trip down was uneventful
When suddenly we came upon an eyeful
An ice sculptor had come to play :wink:
And left his mark in a different way
We shall not say what he created,
But some seemed very much elated
Some teased and hugged the snowy statue
And took some pictures of those who dared to
Then back to the trailhead we did return
Down the road Sechelt for refreshments we yearned
In the end all was good and we were safe back at home
It sure is more fun in groups than alone
Thank you to Lulu and everyone for such a fun weekend. I really enjoyed myself. |
