Summer Continues

The summer continues!  Maybe with a little more rain than we would like but fun still the same.  With a visit from Shari and Tani while we were camping at Tatla Lake to time spent with Chris and Carl at their cabin in Likely, we have been keeping busy.  We have been picking lots of huckleberries, hiking and of course Ken is fishing.  Take a look...never a dull moment!








We love that view and the hike at Fraser Mountian.


And we love the huckleberries!


Ken is parked in front of this huge windmill blade, on his bike in...you can barely see him!


We always wondered what it would be like to live life in the pioneer days, and found out during our visit to Fort St James National Park.


Looking down on road down 'The Hill' and the clouds in the Bella Coola valley.


Sheri and Tani (Sheri's friend from Missouri) and Ken are lost amongst the cedars on our walk through the Big Tree trail.


This little fox didn't give much notice to us at we watched him catch a little mole for his lunch.


The sun shone on us even as the clouds filled the skies over Tatla Lake, which was so clear you could see the bottom for a very long way out.


Wild daisies and Chilcoltin fences line Hwy 20.


Ken parked in front of an Inuksuk.


Always the end to a great day...the sunset over One Eye Lake.


Sandhill Cranes, in Carl and Chris's pond, visited us many mornings.


A long view up the East Arm on Quesnel Lake as seen from Rogers 20 ft Hewscraft aluminum boat.


Another Niagra Falls, this time on Quesnel Lake.


The prospecting town of Quesnel Forks on the banks of the Quesnel and Cariboo Rivers. This ghost town was once the largest non fur-trade town north of San Francisco and was proposed to be the capital of BC until the main road was rerouted to Barkerville.


Wayne was a great guide on our hike to the top of Brown Top Mountian, a great 1 1/2 hour hike to the sub alpine.


And still snow on top at 2000 mts...even at the end of August.


Along the Williams River Trail you can see years and years of erosion.


The trail is a multi use trail which runs 12 km from Williams Lake to the Fraser River.  What a great bike ride!
