Tobin isn't allowed to see this cupboard yet.

Almost Ambulatory

We spent the weekend hiking and camping in Mt Revelstoke Park. Wandered into Jade Lakes and camped up on the ridge to soak in the sunset. This morning we took turns rambling along ridges while Tobin slept. He was a star as usual. He's starting to get into the starting blocks so it looks like crawling is imminent... Yikes!

Camping, hiking and fishing near Tatlayoko Lake

We just spent five days hiking fishing and relaxing in the Chilcotin near Tatlayoko lake. It was a beautiful trip, full of fish, bears, ranches and amazing scenery. We visited Steve who is running the banding station there and he showed us around to all the hot spots. Here are the phots. Many posts so some may run into the next page.

Potato Ridge Traverse

We did a two day traverse of Potato mountain above Tatlayoko lake while we were in the Chilcotin, amazing scenery! We walked on the edge of the plateau right into the mighty coast range. On our way down we bumped into a grizzly foraging, I walked over a rise and about 60' away was the most perfect looking grizzly, he gave one 'woof!' and turned and crashed away. Left me with weak knees for a few moments.

Chilcotin phots

I'm trying a new posting strategy with blogspot. We'll see how numerous posts of the same trip works out for captions...

Fishing the Chilko River with Steve, he slayed the trout and in this photo is demonstrating the size of the old spawned out sockeye I landed. The final indignity of the majestic sockeye, landed by a flyfishing hack.

Tobin and I looking like dorks, or at least I look like a dork.
