July 1 / 2009
Kamloops and Merritt
A quick rest stop in the Fraser Valley
Tunkwa Lake
we were camped on the spit just to the right
Beautiful spot when the wind wasn't up
this view is from above the canal
view out our back door on to the main lake
we could pull the boat right up next to the camper
the lodge is across the lake from us
up close showed this was not our type of camping
we're the little one on the left
not too windy yet
then the wind came on strong 15 minutes later
time to get off the lake people
soon lots of boats were pulled up to wait for things to die down
big clear sky means we were in for a cold night
next morning was crisp and clear
July 1st and there was frost on the table
that's what you get being up high on a plateau
soon there will be lots of boats out
all set up and ready to go
morning mist...too bad so many pine trees are dying
quiet and peaceful trolling with the electric motor
at the west end the water drains out
and down into Leighton Lake
always trying my luck...this time from shore
we spotted this marmot on a nearby bluff
up close he was pretty big
beautiful spot for a picnic
on our way home we stopped at Roche Lake
this lake is stocked and has some nice rainbows
trying very hard to keep up with mom
Robbie was trying everything with no luck
some serious trolling...I haven't had much success this trip
patience and determination along with a little luck
as the sun was going down we agreed it had been a great trip
heading to bed there were still people fishing
Russ & Arlene
