In search of color

On Thursday. . .

as soon as chores were done. . .

we hooked up the trailer and off we went.

We planned a camping trip up the Coquihalla Highway at Larson Hill.

Last time this year. .

the poplars were letting their golden leaves float down like confetti.

This year. . .

they teased. . .

not yet.

It is amazing though what one can find in the forest.

We each picked one of these very organic and very natural and surely very healthy apples.

They were small....

but tasty.

We went for a long walk along the old Kettle Valley railway trail.

It starts in Hope British Columbia and heads up through the Coquihalla River Gorge.

We made a note to bring our tandem bike for our next visit.

All along the trail .. .

remnants of the train tracks are visible.

We found a few old spikes. . .

which we could easily carry. .. .

and lots of old tossed to the side. .

railway ties that .. .

we left for more ambitious souvenier hunters.

We noted that having a picture op on the bridges reconstructed for walking. . .
was popular for man and beast.
Can anyone tell me what this little guy is?

I searched for the answer. . .but decided it was easier to ask you.

My guess. . .a mink.


We walked several miles. . .
and turned back to our river side camp spot.


A simple dinner. . .

and a quiet evening. . .

the perfect start to a great weekend.

Tomorrow .. .

the rest of the weekend.

All for now. .
