Where? - Grand Teton National Park, in the Rockies, near Yellowstone National Park.
Caroline, here, is my special "adventure friend" from California, USA, whom I met while running a marathon in California! She planned the whole trip!

| Kayaking in Canada, and Hiking in the Rockies!: These are some pictures from my holiday with Caroline in Canada/USA in Sep '98 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Snow cave! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The whole 2 week period was spent in this tent, or the 4x4 Toyota - the only way I/we could afford the trip! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| One of the highlights of the trip for me was hiking through the first snowfall of winter, and camping in "the back country" overnight. Minus 3 degrees C, mind! Where? - Grand Teton National Park, in the Rockies, near Yellowstone National Park. Caroline, here, is my special "adventure friend" from California, USA, whom I met while running a marathon in California! She planned the whole trip! |

| The main "excuse" for the trip was to go on a kayaking trip to search for Orcas - we didn't see any from the kayaks, but did an extra boat trip and tracked them down!!! Fantastic!! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| We finally got to see the Orcas!! They had decided to go on an unscheduled trip which coincided with our 3 day kayaking trip. They returned on our final morning - too late for us kayakers, so we did a boat trip instead! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Hot springs at Yellowstone | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Another highlight was "glacading" down a permanent snow field on my backside, at high speed! A few bruises but lots of laughs and adrenalin! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
