Not going to drive the Vancouver-Calgary-Vancouver route again. Too tiring and stressful. But the views are to-die-for! #fog #windgust #crosswind #longdrive #winter https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm8A9LhLOTW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It was 40 MPH windgusts at the festival, Sorry I fell into a deep slumber sending the last two anons, No it was thankfully as far as I saw not windy enough to blow any kilts into the air atleast that I saw. It was windy enough that it was a struggle to open the car door a few times, And we nearly got blown off the road from wind bursts on our way home.

It's been hecking windy here- big storm the other day. Glad you got home okay!

Storming

I love me some bad weather, rain, snow,

windgusts cresting over the horizon,

surging through trees, bending them like

acolytes admonished before the storm

darkening the sky, scattering birds,

ripping through backyards, sending toys

and canvas and trashcans down deserted

streets and into hedges and fences

shutting down production, closing schools,

blackening the streets, killing televisions

and kitchen lights, urging us to take stock

of supplies, count cans and bottles

getting our attention, reminding us that

all of this is tenuous, temporary, ultimately

unsustainable, consumers sitting upon

a knife edge of civilization, bending

slowly sinking into the bloody wound

of unpredictability, pretending we don’t

notice it, know it deep in our bones like

tree roots freshly exposed to the lighting

so I sit on the porch in the rising tide of

chaos flooding across the lawns awaiting

the appetizer of Armageddon to which

each weather event earnestly aspires.

Rocky Point Basin to Black Forest Ridge (heli-hiking)

Date: 08/03/2022 Country: Canada Region: The Bugaboos (in the Purcell Mountain Range if British Columbia) Trailhead: None (cross-country hiking) Length: 9 miles Elevation gain: 2,900 ft

Part of the fun of heli-hiking is that it’s a bit like a lottery, with only winners. We never knew where we were going to be dropped off, and today was no different. In fact, the original plan, i.e. to start the day with a glacier walk, had to be scrapped after it was dicovered (from the air) that our landing spot for that venture was taken over by grazing mountain goats. Canadian wildlife regulations are strict in this regard—no landing for three days after a herd has been spotted in any given area. So, our plans were adjusted on the fly--literally--and we boarded the heli bound for a new drop-off point and a different route. Fortunately, this adjustment didn’t detract from our enjoyment of the day, as we were bound for the longest and most varied of our three heli-hikes.

After being dropped off on a high-laying basin, we slowly wended our way up toward a nearby saddle, and from here we had the first great view of the day.

Making steady tempo, we crossed Rocky Point basin and ascended the steep slope on the opposite side. Now it began to rain, and we were concerned that the weather might turn ugly. A front was expected to arrive later that day, and this was simply an advance warning of metereological instability. Everybody put on their rain gear, and for the rest of the day, we mostly kept on the additional layer, as it sprinkled on and off without, fortunately, ever fully turning on the rain. When we crested the ridge, the last sun rays were lighting up the nearer territory, while the spires and glaciers of the Bugaboo range were greyed-over pretty solidly. Still, the mountains were out of the clouds.

The next valley we crossed offered the perfect conditions for lush floral displays, and we were engrossed by the riot of Indian Paintbrushes and Anemones that spread their flowering bounty across the meadows. 

Next to a crystal clear stream, we had our leisurely lunch break, taking in the serene scenery and resting up for the long stretch that lay still ahead of us. It’s always exciting to be slogging steeply uphill, then arriving at a ridge and looking down into a world of meadows, lakes, snow patches, streams, and mountains. It was no different, when we crested the ridge that gave us our first unimpeded glimpse of the Bugaboos.

From here, our guide Brian took us directly into the dense brush of the slope to avoid the ridge which rose and dipped steeply ahead of us. This was slow going, with uneven footing and some struggle with branches and roots, not to mention occasional light showers, but we made it in good spirit, trusting our guide to find a direct, safe route to take us back to the ridge, so we could climb up to Power Pig Summit.

Some members of our group were getting tired at this point, and while we were having another snack break, Brian used his two-way radio to arrange for them to be picked up on top of a nearby prominence along the ridge. Just then, the rain was coming down harder, and we though uh-oh, that may be the end of the hike for all of us. But then, unexpectedly, the skies tore open, patches of blue appeared, and a few stray sun rays shot down to illuminate the scene. This happened just as we topped the landing spot for the heli, and now we were exposed to a truly spectacular sight, while fierce windgusts made us scramble for shelter behind a large rock.

The drama of whirling clouds, soaring spires and peaks, and wandering sun patches over glaciers and snowfields was breathtaking. The heli soon came to take three group members home, and after the clattering of the helicopter blades had died away, we were proceeding along the ridge toward Cobalt Lake, the last and final highlight of an already wonderful outing.

Because the ridge we were on was a well-frequented route, there was a semblance of a trail, allowing us to proceed at a brisk rate. Just as the light was beginning to dim at 5:15, we glimpsed Cobalt Lake and its surrounding crystalline rock spires. 

After shooting a few pictures, we huddled down to await the arrival of our ride home. As usual, Jens made a stunning precision landing, setting down the helicopter two feet away from us—amazing. We’d had a most impressive and enjoyable hike through varied territory and under changing weather conditions. Definitely, heli-hiking is something we want to continue doing in the future.

Here’s a #quicklapse of the trailing #skstorm at 4:20PM July 5th, as viewed from the Bear Hills, West of Biggar Saskatchewan Canada. I had to deal with very strong #windgusts and then a downpour while shooting this lol. 🤪 (at Perdue, Saskatchewan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQfIKydJp9T/?utm_medium=tumblr

A warrior with winged boots flies above the battlefield, his blade striking down on the dragon's scales from above. Another worshiper of the sky gods, a sailor is capable of singlehandedly powering a warship, magical windgusts powering his crew across the waves.

While tempest domain is nice, I've always felt that sky gods were their own unique style that deserved their own subclass. I hope this feels like a distinct cleric playstyle, allowing you to blast your enemies with powerful spells and keeping your allies safe.
