You might remember that on
the 3rd of the month I showed pictures of the Log Cabins? Well today
we went past them again but this time on a visit to St. Marys Lake which
is into the Rockies and we were travelling on logging roads a lot of the
way. This was a chance to get into the mountains and see the rivers
and lakes. This is just right over the hill from Kimberley and was
around a 4 hour circular tour. It was Anita and Ron that took me this time
and some special scenes and real log cabins to see.
That's Ron at the wheel and then we're heading
into the mountains
This was us heading down to the bridge which
goes over the river feeding into St. Marys lake
These are scenes from the bridge and finally
at St. Marys lake where a load of drift wood comes down and piles up on
the shore
Rather picturesque even though it was a bit
hazy
This was Earl who is retired and lives in this
cabin all year round
More log cabins and the last picture is of a
home built sauna
And this is Ron and Anita outside the cabin
which belonged to a good friend of theirs before she died last year.
Ok.. these are a bit hard to see but on the
left are mountain goats and on the right is a very small pheasant that was
just sitting on the site of the road. We did in fact see lots of deer but
the photos didn't come out as the were well camoflaged.
This was us heading up the logging road around
the lake and then back to Kimberley. Lots of rivers and streams on this
route and pretty bumpy in places but am told there is great fishing up
this way
A lot of drift wood in these rivers
And this was us back down toward Kimberley
where I thought I'd try a final picture of a farm with horses in the
field. There is certainly a lot of contrasting scenary in this area and
I'm told that it's about the time when you also need to keep a wary eye
out for bears! I
might add we ended our day by visiting a Chinese restaurant and had an
excellent meal which rounded off the day just perfectly :-) |
