Wet Weather Wanderings

Now I am lobbying to change the name of the Yellowhead Highway to Wethead Road! Nothing but rain, well, excepting a short spate of hail, for the past 450 miles. Less fun than we hoped for. Along the way, we managed to visit the village of Gitanyow , site of the most standing totem poles in this part of British Columbia, and the reconstructed village of 'KSAN, where we were lucky enough to arrive during a festival.

The provincial parks of BC maintain their reputation for pristine environments and cleanliness. Image a whole campground without a speck of litter to be seen! We have recently enjoyed the lovely parks at Kinaskan, Meziadin, Lake Beaufort, and last night at Lake Purden. Today, rain notwithstanding, we hiked in an ancient rainforest of western red cedar, somehow spared the widdespread logging that is endemic to this region.
