Boston Bar Trip

April 10, 2009

We woke up at 3:30 in the morning to go on this trip to Boston Bar. We were determined to see some wildlife. We left Vancouver about 4:30 a.m. and we arrived in the Fraser Valley just as the sun was starting to come out for the day. We go over the Rosedale Bridge and went up to Boston Bar the backways going by Harrison Hot Springs. I was on the lookout for bears, and other animals down in the gulleys, and in the shore areas. We didn't see any bears.

We continue our way up to Boston Bar. We get there, and we see a buck as we were nearing Boston Bar. Then as soon as we arrived to Boston Bar we took the turn off to North Bend on the other side of the Fraser River.

Whistler Day Trip

March 28, 2009

On this day, we decided that we would go and look at the Callaghan Valley where the ski jumps are located.  We started out fairly early in the morning, and went up to the Sea to Sky corridor highway. We drive past Brittania Beach, and then we continue by Porteau Cove, and Brandywine Falls (completely snowed in still), and then our first stop is to look go down the Cat Lake Forest Service Road that is located in the Brohm Lake Park area.  The road started to get too muddy, so we turned around, and there was still a lot of snow that was around. We continued on up the Sea to Sky Highway, and Brohm Lake, Daisy Lake, and Alpha Lake were completely frozen over.  We then continue up to the Callaghan Valley. This is approximately 20 km SW of Whistler.  There are actually 3 different Olympic Venues up in this area.  The ones that are up in that particular area is the Biathalon, Ski Jump, and Cross-Country Skiing area. It was spectacular to see the job that they done with the ski jump.  There were actually people who were practicing when we were up there.  There was still quite a bit of snow in this region.  It was snowing lightly, and very strong wind gusts at times which allowed for cold air.  The Callaghan Valley is located approximately 12 km up from the Sea to Sky Corridor. This road was paved when we were coming down the Sea to Sky Corridor during the summer last year.
