页面 2 / 2 在Bagley
Lake的停车场，我们巧遇了由枫下客领队的加西游玩小分队。由于我们自感爬山的技能和体力不能和小分队员们和拍，所以没敢报名参加他们的队伍，但看着他们人手一根专业登山仗，精力充沛的样子，仍然感到羡慕和嫉妒！
离开停车场，我们继续朝目的地，Artist
Point进发。一路上美景无限，几次停车拍照，不在话下。
到了Artist
Point，已经是中午时分。我们商量下来，决定先吃午餐，再爬桌子山。而加西小分队的队员们此时已经安排妥当，开始分组上山。这是他们上山前我偷拍的镜头。
吃完午餐，我们又在附近的观景台转了转，也发现了好几位摄影爱好者扛着脚架和其它设备在那里忙，身边还有一只漂亮的大狗。
这是Artist
Point停车场边、厕所后面的一个看起来是人工修起来的雪洞，研究了半天也没研究出它到底有啥实际用途。奇怪的地方还有那上面的雪在阳光曝晒下怎么就不化？
要上山了，我太太因为临时感到胃有点不舒服，决定不上山了。这样一来，我、我女儿Angela和我们朋友一家三口就开始了登山的“旅程”。
从山脚下看Table
Mountain，还真有点“高山仰止”的感觉。
爬山的过程我就不说了，因为我女儿Angela的描写比我有趣。这是她参加完暑期写作培训班以后写的第一篇作文（在学习时写的习作不算的话），比起参加培训班前还是有很大的进步的。作文的题目叫《Nightmare
Mountain》，全文如下：
Tinkle, tinkle, the rocks were under our feet as we climb
the Table (and terrible) mountain at Mt. Baker in USA. My dad, my friend and her
parents, and I were trying to climb it.
At first it was easy and the road
was wide enough for 2 people, but then it got thinner and thinner. "We're going
to fall!!!", I said to myself, but I kept going. My friend, now she was so
scared that she was holding her mother so tightly that I thought she was going
to squeeze her guts out! I thought she was thinking: "Oh, my, I'm afraid of
heights, I'm going to fall!!!"
But after the hard parts, the rest was ok.
Finally we got to the top.
"Good, I didn't fall." I thought
happily.
But there was one problem ... going down!
I knew I had to
go down but I was scared.
After a while we went down. My dad and I were
faster than my friend and her parents. Probably because she was very scared.
When I was going down I didn't think it was that hard. Maybe because I knew what
was going to happen. After I went down I thought I was crazy to think it was
hard because it looked so easy. So after I went down I told my mother that she
would have never made it and we laughed very hard.
一个比较有趣的现象是在Table Mountain山顶，我们发现有许多登顶者就地取材，用石块垒成的“雕塑”，有的还颇具艺术性和象征意义。
结果我们孩子和朋友的孩子（13岁）也有样学样地各自垒了一个属于她们自己的雕塑，希望来年我们再去那里的时候那艺术品还在那里供人瞻仰，哈！
爬完了Table
Mountain，我们几个“老头老太”已经累得够呛，孩子们虽然兴奋，但对刚才的惊险毕竟还是心有余悸，再加上我太太仍在车里闹胃疼......于是决定班师回府。
回程的路一路顺风，值得书写的地方已经不多。过加拿大海关时，排队的人比早上多多了。加拿大海关的OFFICER显然和气得多了，他（1）人没出岗厅（我自然不知道他是否武装起来），（2）没看我们的护照（尽管我已经把护照举到了他面前），（3）问了我们4句话：where
do you live? where did you go and for what purpose? What's your citizenship, Did
you buy anything?
当我回答完所有问题，尤其是最后一问题回答了“No”以后，他的一句“Bye-bye”，让我们全家释然。
另外补充一点，这次旅行尽管行程来回300多公里，单程耗时2个多小时，但我们的花费只是区区10块美金（5块钱的PASS，另外5块是回程时买一杯咖啡和两个冰激灵）而已，当然，不算汽油费（算的话也只不过10几块加币而已）。可以说是非常经济实惠的旅行哦！
