ReplyDeleteWow, did you ever cover a lot of land. What a great trip.
ReplyDeleteI was also reading your previous post about the Truffle Pig restaurant and wished I'd known about it when I was in Field about 3 years ago. We hiked to see the Burgess Shale and had such a great time. I'm sure we would have made time for a great restaurant too - next time!
You must have enjoyed it all immensely.Good for you..
