is the ice off at beaver lake? can we fish there yet? can we canoe? can we even drive in to the site? inquiring minds wanted to know. so mike and i went to find out on sunday evening.
but the most pressing question is... can i use a golf ball on my clutch cylinder since the original became a mushy chunk of rubber? Well... yes you can.
my new clutch cylinder lid.
one the clutch was sorted out, it was time to answer the other questions.
the road into beaver lake site
The road in was a little snowy. nothing major. so in we went.
the ice. still there.
The ice is still there. about 15 feet of clear water along the shore. pretty much the same schedule as last year. i checked last years blog posts, and maybe we are a little ahead this year. a little.
truck and fire shot
had a fire, shot some guns. good times.
found a MIA soldier from last time
Mike also had a ping pong ball full of gunpowder. we used it to thin the troops a bit.
I think a camping trip is in order. next weekend we are gonna set up some tents here and try some very early season fishing. might bring the canoe. you should come.
Tuesday evening, 6:00. seems like the perfect time to ride postil. pulled the bikes out of the shed for the first time. they were ridden hard and put away wet so they needed a bit of love. loaded them into the truck and off i went. met some friends and we were off. we were ripping too fast to stop and take pictures on the way down, so there are none.

This is the start of another epic okanagan summer. you should come and ride. or shuttle us, that would be ok too.
Easter time, and in our house, that means time to go to nakusp. This is the third time and this year it became official; this is a tradition. So we packed up the BRAND NEW CAR and headed east. We also loaded up the GPS with geocaches. as is required for most sweet trips.
1st stop. the last spike geocache.
the view of arrow lakes from the hotsprings
hey. it's us.
Most of our time was spent in the hotsprings. i start teaching again when we get back to reality, so a good chance to relax a bit before then. Christine works so hard that she always deserves some relaxing time.
we had the restaurant to our selves... as usual
from downtown nakusp
Everything about halcyon and nakusp was so awesome. it always is. thats why we keep going back.
3 valley gap.
from our cabin
geocaching in nakusp
The other thing that we did a lot of was geocaching. there is still one at these falls that is eluding us. we will try it again next trip.
on the ferry across arrow lakes.
See you again next easter nakusp... or maybe earlier. on another sweet adventure.
