 Brandywine Falls, about 20 minutes south of Whistler BC. |
 Somewhere over the rainbow, Paul looks over Brandywine falls on this late September day. |
 Whistler mountain seen from Whistler Village September 22, 2002. |
 Vancouver/Whistler are vying for the 2010 winter Olympics. The Olympic committee makes the decision in July 2003 and two other cities are contending. Dot taught the Jamaican bobsled team all they know. |
 Whislter Village full of greenery instead of the usual "white stuff". |
 Paul near the top of Whislter mountain at the beginning of our fall hike to the summit. |
 Nice peaks, Whistler! |
 In a few months this will all be buried in glorious snow. |
 As we hike towards the summit you can see the gondala station and restaurant below. |
 These peaks are snow-capped year-round. |
 Finally, we make it to the summit and bribe a mountain goat to take our photo. |
 It's a lot easier on the way down. |
 Wood sculpture garden that works as a compass. Instead of North, South, East, West they use animals to indicate direction. |
 You've heard "don't feed the bears." What about sticking your fingers in the bear's nose? You CAN pick your bear friend's nose. |
 Wonderful fall day at the top of Whistler mountain. |
 What country is Whistler in? |
 Riding the gondola back down to Whistler Village. |
 Near the bottom we saw a mountain bike mishap but all seemed ok. |
 Dot on the gondola gets dramatic. (surprise) and tries to convince Paul that she won two gold medals in Lake Placid. Oh yeah, her name then was Ingrid. |
 We're almost back in the village. The gondola ride covers one mile of vertical lift. |
 A sparkling panoramic shot of Whistler mountain. Totally Bond, James Bond. |
