Grasshopper Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hey everyone, so today is my adventure departure day. Had an early start and what a beautiful day for traveling on some ferries.

Ladders are a great way to get out of a mudhole with. use them like tracks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 As the second week of my journey starts I have had a chance to look back at the first week. We were in the backcountry fast and without cell reception for most of the week. I have just now had a few days with the internet to touch base with the world. We have already seen some amazing places but one of my favourites was a place called Marble Canyon. We camped beside Turquoise lake in the middle of this beautiful canyon. We stayed there for a few days and just enjoyed this magical place. If you look real close in about the middle of the photo you can see our little red tent.... 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are there fish in a limestone lake? Or does it change the pH and make it inhospitable? What a great spot to stop and it doesn’t even look crowded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was almost no one around. The park caretaker was really cool as well. She brought us fresh baked snacks the second day we were there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 Into the third week of my adventure and I'm looking back at last week. I have to say the highlight of the week was our hike through a park to a waterfall. I have seen some waterfalls in my day, but this one was amazing as the surrounding area was just as stunning. Helmcken Falls is a 141 m (463 ft) waterfall on the Murtle River within Wells Gray Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada. The protection of Helmcken Falls was one of the reasons for the creation of Wells Gray Provincial Park in 1939. Helmcken Falls is the fourth highest waterfall in Canada, measured by total straight drop without a break. What a sight.... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
