Awesome and Wet: Wolfe Trail
We had a really good hike at 7AM this morning, at Wolfe trail. It was very foggy initially, then almost pitch dark further up the mountain, then a wall of water and lightning came on us, it seemed like Niagara Falls. It was the most fun we have had in a long time.
Elevation gain: 254m(!) (green shade):
GPS was on even in the beach change room!
Some of the calories were recovered later at the funky Arts is In. The place was packed, and it was awesome.
Our good friends Rod and Dave:
Gatineau Park Hike
We are going for an early morning hike in Gatineau Park tomorrow (Saturday). Departure time is 7AM
The hike is around the Meech lake area, going up the mountain, with a swim at Meech lake, and breakfast at Old Chelsea. Rain or shine.
It's a very nice and friendly group of people. All are welcome. Contact the coach directly for details if you wish to join.
Lac Philippe Trip
Not a cloud in the sky all day. Lots of soccer and other activities, and even an encounter with the monster of Lac Phillippe.
Caveman Finds His Home
After 22 years looking for these caves, it took 2 kids to push me to run 7.5Km uphill, through rocks and steep slopes and hundreds of steps, to finally find the Lusk Caves. It was well worth it.
The kids were flying on the way back, it was tough to keep up with them.
Time Lapse Videos
Check out Gustavo's time lapse videos. To do this he replaced the firmware (software) on his Canon camera, putting in an open source version that allows him to fully control the camera, automate the camera with scripts, do motion detection, and quite a few other things. He also made a few mechanical gadgets himself like a smooth camera slider and the camera spinner.
This one, SunRise, was shot in Ottawa and Bangor, Maine:
His latest invention allows for a full 360 degree smooth sutomated turn:
3,800Km and Mt. Washington
3,800Km of driving later, coach and Gustavo are back in town. A couple of photos of The Cog. This railway goes all the way to the top of Mt. Washington.
An amazingly gorgeous place.

Great Job, and Gustavo Says Hi
Gustavo congratulates the team on the great win last night.
From beatiful Thunder Cove beach, he says he misses soccer and his teammates!
Have a Fever? The Weird Flu
I had to take my daughter to the doctor today as she has had 40C fever for 2 days, with no other symptoms. The doctor could not find anything, and says he has seen it a lot lately (people with fever and no other symptoms), it is probably just a virus.
Update Saturday: fever was gone in the morning :-), and came back to 39.5C in the afternoon :-( (!?)
Soccer Player Does Piano
This is Victor playing yesterday at the Ottawa Jazz Festival 2012 (Victor plays soccer with us once in a while, summer and winter, and plays soccer in the Kanata Sunday mornings group).
The Cartoonist
Once in a while we showcase our players' many other talents. These are Dylan's, a very talented artist.
And he even gives workshops at school:
It's Not All About Soccer
This kid is one of the Brazilian Sunday AM Kanata players. He is a very good soccer player as well, and what an amazing piano player and composer.
