My Summer Vacation

You may recall my last summer vacation. It did not go well for me and I decided to boycott all subsequent vacations. Time heals and I had another vacation this summer. It was much better.

Here are some of my adventures-

Fight Lake Trail
Wells Gray Provincial Park
approx. 22 k return

Steep for the first 40 minutes to Philip Lake
nice soft trailbed
huckleberries (I don't care, but the humans do!)
huge meadows to play in
Canada Geese honking and pooping
water for swimming
mosquitos and black flies, oh my poor naked belly

2 paws up

                             Smoke filled Caribou Meadows

                           smokey sunset at Fight Lake

                         Yahoo! Sleeping in the tent is one of my favorite things to do.

Fight Lake to Battle Mt.
Wells Gray Provincial Park
approx 5 k

wildflowers rule
soft trail
streams for drinking
a tuya with volcanic rocks
not much shade

2 paws (the smoke filled sky brought the score down)

I am on 52 Ridge looking over Bull Valley towards Battle Mountain.

                       Afternoon sun over the Clearwater River Valley


An afternoon picnic at Barview, Clearwater Lake.

                        Canoeing. Another interesting human invention.

                                      I finally figured out how to canoe!
