A Canadian Hillbilly and his travels

Even in august, the lake ain’t warm!!

 

One last look up the valley, and we headed out. Time to put some miles in, and hit that nights camp spot.

 

This is a fun little spot. Over the years, the creek has washed out and taken over the valley floor.

 

Another fun little washout

 

The views on this trail are worth the 8 hour drive to get here.

 

This bridge gets worse every year. And the road above it is deteriorating rapidly too. @m3bassman you guys better get back here soon, before it collapses totally!

 

This is the reward. The view again

 

WHere is this? Your proposal site?

It looks like people started going around the bridge to the left(right in the photo) and was blocked off.

I'd imagine you couldn't cross it once the bridge is dead.

 

well there is a bout 5 other places around there I've wanted to go see.

 

Oh, we will go around the bridge, no issue!! there's 3 slides on the road on the way up that are posing challenges currently. And the gov't of BC will not fix this road. They want it shut down.

@Blackdawg with luck the border opens and you can head this way this summer.

 

The creek gets raging pretty good this time of year. As evidenced by the washed out culvert just downstream!

 

Yeah plus lumber prices might stabilize! haha

 

Frick, are the prices out of control!

 

Camp for the night

 

insanely so yes.

 

Average is $1.49/L for premium currently. Sure to go up as summer kicks into high gear too ffs.

 

Got a fire going at the cabin, and enjoyed the evening.

 

Morning wrap up and views. There was way too much snow to make it up to the glacier this year. Last year it took us several hours to cut thru. This year would’ve required significantly more, and in more than one drift.

 

regular is somewhere around $1.28-1.32.

 

And don’t forget exchange. $1 US= $79 Canadian
