Lost in Thought
Lost Lake
Whistler, Canada
We're in Whistler (British Columbia, Canada) for a couple of days, and this morning went for a bike ride. We rented bikes at our hotel (the Four Seasons Resort Whistler) and headed out on the easy trails to the nearby “Lost Lake”....

Heading Home
“Lost Lake” seems to be a popular name for lakes. Two years ago in Oregon, we happened upon a different “Lost Lake” during a side trip on a visit to Portland.

Jeffy,
2 points to consider: (1) My wife would MURDER me if she caught me riding my bicycle without a helmet, and (2), isn’t Anthony asking why Mommy and Daddy don’t have to wear a helmet?
Why would an adult need a helmet to ride a bike on a smooth path that’s closed to other traffic? —Jeffrey
Good points, Marty.
Jeffrey, surely the answer to your question “Why…?” is the same as why Anthony wears a helmet: a smooth track is just as hard as a bumpy one. I’m perhaps a bit sensitive on the subject, since my helmetless brother came off his bike three weeks ago, and spent 6 days in hospital as a result. Because of concussion, he has been told he is not to work for one month, and not to drive a car for 6 months. Seems a big price to pay for the comfort of not wearing a helmet - it’s changed my mind about them, anyway.
Gee you’re getting around the environs! Thanks for these pictures, it brings back memories of a brief sojourn a tick over 10 years ago. I didn’t stay in the posh hotels there, rather in one of the original ‘villages’ which serves as timeshares. Good time had hiking around - you’re cheating with those bicycles!
