Welcome Back! These pics taken Saturday Jan 17th.

It has been a long time since I have updated this Blog. It has been real quiet at Camp, but all is in good shape. Where are the groups that want to cross country ski or sled in? Up above the fog that has been blanketing the lower mainland it has been beautiful up there!

This first pic was taken from about 1/2 way down the side of the lake, looking North. There is about 1 foot of snow on the road and it has been rained on and then frozen again so is easy for walking, cross country skiing, driving a quad or snowmobile. It might be a tough go for a 4x4 as there is 2 snow slides across the road. The big melt that came in the second week of January didn't affect the area around the Lake as it never got that warm up there. (It sure is evident on most of the drive for the first 25 Km after you turn at Vedder Crossing!)










This pic was taken looking north from the Camp dock.










Small tree across the road










Back Yard snow.














Snow line on the beach shows that the water never came high during the big melt of January 09!









Slide # 1 across the road. (Next group booked in has said "No problem.... a little shovelling and we'll wheel right over that!") Once they cross that and a small tree across the road, there is only one more little bit smaller slide and they're home free! The snow averages about 12-18 inches deep (that's 30-45 Cm) for the younger crowd and is pretty crusty where the snowmobile tracks have packed it down a bit. Have a look at a few more pics and think about a winter adventure for your group.





This pic is the 2nd slide.


Not very many times that I get away from there without taking a picture of the Chapel reflection. Every picture looks better than the last. Not a better photographer or camera, but siding, stairs - inside and out, new roof, the insulation that you can't see, the deck, windows, doors, paint, wiring, lighting and beds. Lets keep it up!

Get together with your group to plan your group's next Camp improvement job. Let me know b4 the last Saturday in April. Spring Work Day April 25, 2009. I'm still working on replacing our emergency communication system as our AutoTel is no longer supported and is not working.
