this picture came up on my Facebook memories recently…

I can still remember that day… we were in Courtenay and drove up Mount Washington… there was no one else around as it was summer… we sat at the bottom of the ski hill for a very long time as we were both afraid of heights…

but we decided to go for it…

we got on the chairlift but the person didn’t put the safety bar down… we realized this as we were moving upwards… I think that the bars along the back and beside me, that I was holding onto for dear life, probably had dents from the grip I had on them😳…

there are no pictures because of the death grip… we were both terrified…

when we arrived at the top the staff person didn’t seem that worried about it, but did say they would ensure that the bar was put in the correct position when we descended…

there was still snow on the ground and the views were beautiful, but I was still nervous about going back down…

of course, we had no choice about going down… after being safely secured correctly, we made the trip down and I even enjoyed some of the views, lol…

but, once we made it back to town, we stopped and sat in a coffee shop for quite a while to let our nerves settle;-)…

an unforgettable memory, lol…
