Meager Creek Safe Areas

This picture is of the guard shack just after crossing the Upper Lillooet bridge and climbing a short gravel road hill. The bridge is normally well above the river and so this area is quite a distance above and in fact is posted as a “safe zone”. You can see the safe zone sign just behind the little shack. The bridge deck floating in the debri is not, I have read, the Upper Lillooet bridge but I am not so sure about that. It looks a lot like it and seems to be in the right position.

The next “Safe Zone” was the Upper Lillooet Campground which I am told is surrounded by debri but otherwise OK.

2009 Fort Langley Fiberglass Egg Camping

We’re going camping this weekend in our avocado green vintage Trillium trailer. All the way to Fort Langley. It’s this fun group of people we’ve found who all own vintage fiberglass trailers like Bolers and Trilliums. No matter what make or model, they all look similar to the untrained eye. An egg. Personally, I think they look like old toasters. Pictured here was our neighbor last year.

The popularity of these little things has caused production to begin anew. You can purchase a new one right off the assembly line. Escape which I believe is the new Boler, and Trillium have started production again.

There is nothing hard about this camping trip. Just hook up and go. It’s a great start to the RV season. It gets me motivated to tune up the tow rig, (OK, Mini Van) and replace last years marshmellows with a new bag. Potluck, beers and great big fires.

Think this is unique? The social network is huge. Check it out: www.fiberglassrv.com

Nicola Lake hieroglyphs

If you are reading this on my facebook wall you won’t be able to see the image. It is one of us on our camping trip. This is on the first leg of our journey. we had decided to take a break from lazing on the beach all day and look for some hieroglyphs that were said to be in the area. Unfortunately no one knew exactly where. So we were on a wild goose chase in the middle of stinking hot 38 degree weather wandering down a trail in desert like landscape. We found lots of wild cactus.

We eventually did find the hieroglyphs at the very beginning of the trail near where we parked. What took us 2 trips and many hours of wondering could have been done in 15 minutes. It was something I will never forget.

Next is the Photo of us at the hieroglyphs. We all look very interested at this point.

Can you believe this is sitting on private property. There is a ‘No Trespassing’ high up on that tree. I hope the property comes with a restrictive covenant or right of way on the title.
