Spring work day postponed.

Only the 2nd time in 25 years that we have had to redate the spring work day. Last Spring there was still too much snow to drive in a car or 2 wheel drive on the Friday- (By Sunday, it was driveable) Some still came in with 4x4's and there was a small group of about 15 people.

This picture was taken in March, 1990 when there was 3 avalanches over the road. We thought that we were going to have to cancel work day, but the Government found money in their budget to clear the road for an environmental study group to monitor the speed of spotted slugs. (or something like that!) - We were thankful for their concern.

As soon as the snow is gone, Forestry will be making it a high priority to blast and remove the rocks that are blocking the road at the 1.1 Km point. If anyone has a chance to drive up there in the next 2 or 3 weeks, please send me a note and / or some pictures. I won't get a chance to go up there for the next 3 weeks or so as I am being sent back east to work.

Thanks for all your help and encouragement. Some groups have said that "Clear or not, we're going in by boat, hiking or float plane." From 1948 to 1965, those were the only choices. Hiking was more difficult than the others. One guy missed the boat, so he paddled down the lake on a log! (My brother Kerry!)

This picture of a "CB' was taken in the late 1940's. Note there is no propeller.... didn't work too well as a glider. That's why if you stand at the end of the dock and look left (South), the big rock on the point is called "Propeller Rock". The propeller is still down there somewhere. The plane nosed into the lake and stopped very suddenly! They towed it back to camp, brought in a new prop and flew it out again!

See the dents while being towed in.
