I'm going to try to make a "thread of threads" of my outdoor adventures, alone & with friends, so you folks #SelfIsolating can enjoy some virtual vacations. Let's start with a wonderful West Coast weekend i spent with my dear friends @HoldingHorizons & @0wlyy

This next one is a long thread. If it breaks, just go back to the second-last tweet you saw and click on it, the rest of the thread should load.

Solo hike along our local river in early fall. #OnTheBrightside #SelfIsolatingOutdoors https://twitter.com/girlyratfish/status/915970067879256066?s=21
Here's the same hike as last thread -- but from this past January, with my dear friend @yogarose2 ! Check out the difference in river level!

If that "ear selfie" above doesn't load the thread, (It did when i first tried it, but seems not to in the quote tweet????) try this one instead. This is the first stop on the daytrip.

Here's a good short thread of the Taylor River, a very beautiful spot near me. hope it helps #OnTheBrightSide #SelfIsolatingOutdoors

FRESH #SelfIsolatingOutdoors thread with lots of short videos.
Back to the Taylor River, which was featured in the last thread. i can be a creature of habit about some places i guess 😺

I took the big iPad! Big jump in photo & video quality! 💕💕
The Taylor is west of Port Alberni, on the way to Tofino & Ucluelet. There is a rest stop with picnic tables & a public restroom with composting toilets.

i saw a lot of vehicles heading west, maybe unaware that Tofino & Ucluelet have kindly asked visitors to keep away. ☹️
There were quite a few people at the rest stop (most of them smoking, ugh) and the restroom smelled gawd-awful, but the rest stop was not my objective. There are trails behind the restroom where most folks don't bother going.
unlike a lot of the dense, dark coastal rainforest around here, this stand has an airy, open, kind of storybook feel 😻

ROOSEVELT ELK POOP !!!
Let's take a breather.
Trying out some slo-mo. This is a good one to do deep belly breaths to.
Staring at moving water is how i de-stress.... so i shot quite a few of these 😺
Rock-carving in progress 😻
Astute Twitter followers have no doubt picked up on why i like that fly-fishing game so much. Sometimes i don't even fish in that game, i just stare at & listen to the water.

Its incredible jewel-toned water is why i love this river so much.
Let's stare at it for a while 😻😻😻😻
Almost back at the truck ( you can just barely see it thru the trees)
I just missed the ravens who were calling . Will have to try again to get some good raven calls in a video. Thanks for coming along today! #SelfIsolatingOutdoors #OnTheBrightSide
Oops, before i forget, here is a veritable Mountain of SNIRT (dirty snow) for @AndrewR_Physics and D. 😹

The Taylor River Rest Stop is a staging & dumping area for the snowplow/sanding trucks who work the very snowy Sutton Pass just to the west of here.
Oops, i just tacked that whole taylor river thread onto the end of my "thread of threads" DANG

Anyway, here is yesterday's short float on nearby Spider Lake

Here's some bad photos (my ipad lens fogged the whole time) of a hike i went on last May, up Burke Mountain, with friends @SpykrCactus and @Reweth

i think there is a link in the thread somewhere, to the much better photos @Reweth took

Here's a short thread about the "Wacky Woods", a living gallery of anti-capitalist sculpture by retired logger/outsider artist George Sawchuk

Once we get thru this... if any of you ever visit me, i'll take you there. It's pretty special. #OnTheBrightSide

EVERYONE HAVE SOME GORGEOUS FLOWERS and also my gorgeous mother Toni, from an outing to our favourite little hidden park in Victoria.
