A Canadian Hillbilly and his travels

And camp for the evening. Man, did it rain overnight!

 

Next morning, we went on a hunt for, and found these old mine buildings. Coal fired power generation buildings, powering massive air compressors for the mine works.

 

Next morning, with it being so unseasonably warm this year, we decided to head into the high country.

 

So happy i stumbled upon this thread.

 

Glad you're enjoying it! I'll get back to updating!

 

Where is this old powerhouse?

 

It’s southeastern BC area

 

I grew up in Fernie, spent a LOT of time as a kid tramping around Hosmer, Coal Creek, etc... any chance that's the old townsite at Corbin?

 

Dude! This is straight back of Hoz!! That's awesome! Where are you now?

 

Victoria (near enough)… miss the hell out of the interior.

 

Man, I bet!! I grrew up in chilliwack, but am stuck in alberta. I miss the fuck outta BC!!!

 

You probably wouldn't recognize if if you haven been there in a while; Vancouver starts at Chilliwack now!
Need to get back down into the East Kootenays and do some tramping around for a bit. Maybe next year.

 

In those pic is that the Bow River you guys went across. Sure looks like it nice crystal clear shallow water. I lived in Calgary back in the early eighties and did some 4 wheeling up in around Lake Louise, Jasper, Banff area man I miss them days. Thanks for posting brings back some memories when I see the Rockies and Foot hills.

 

No sir! This is in BC. There's no crossings of the Bow anywhere anymore, and definitely no wheeling in the National Parks in this day and age! Man, you can barely park on the shoulder out there anymore.

 

Little bit of fun on the way up.

 

Last year, in the fall, this creek was nearly non existent.

 

This trail gets good quick

 

Lots of rock, some rooty bypasses

 

Spectacular scenery.

 

And then you climb, and get on the shelf road
