Steemit Photo Challenge - My 1st Ever Entry.

My 1st entry into the Steemit Photo Challenge...... a picture of me being in decent shape, back in my travels to the West Coast of Canada and all the mountain adventures you can have in that area.

I have always loved all kinds of activity and staying in shape, finding it fun and really just a healthy way to think / live.

I entered today because of Hive account@quinneaker!

It really honestly is warm enough at the base for me to be in my shorts here, a lot of people were.

As per the sign in the above photo, I do not like being told what to do either LOL

Cypress Mountain - North Vancouver Mountain Range - Snowboarding!

... 30 degrees at the base, beginning of summer- 2006 - the hill where they had the 2010 Olympics 4 yrs later!

This area is known as West Van. As you head out on the coast towards Whistler - there are mountain ranges there.

I climbed the other one just the other side of Cypress --- it is known as Grouse Mountain. I climbed it in sub-60 (54 mins I think) - which is very very good.

I have wondered about this Steemit Photo Challenge thing going on here, so today I decided to share something here for it!

If I am not doing this right for Steemit Photo Challenge posts, can you please let me know?

A friend had his camera, and was taking photos of us this day -- this is me making sure I stop short enough and do not take him out

If you keep heading up the 99 Highway North (Sea to Sky Highway) -- you will be at Whistler which is world famous..... in about half an hour or so. They held more of the 2010 Olympics up there also.

A lot of the snowboarding was done here at Cypress for the Olympics.

Construction was well underway here in 2006 when I visited. I was on the road for about 25 weeks and spent the last 90 days in many communities around the lower mainland and areas within 1-2 hours by car, of Vancouver
