A pause to remember what it's all about

Love these two, looks so peaceful :thumbup:.

Thanks rksoon.

It definitely is peaceful. The first picture was taken from the shore of my favourite campsite on the lake (#17, in case anyone else gets the chance to go there!). The fishing is great, and it's pleasantly surprising to see natural sand beaches along the shore of a lake in the middle of the mountains.

The shore (not shown) where the second picture was taken is also sandy, but the sand is loaded with pyrite deposits that flow from the mineral-rich springs on the adjacent mountains. When you walk through the water, your passing stirs up gold silt, which is just cool. The area is popular with shorebirds, eagles, moose, and grizzly, and the beach is covered in tracks (which glitter because of the pyrite). Definitely a one-of-a-kind location.

This thread really is great. I hope to be able to see some of these locations in person in the future.

All the best,

- Mike

The most important thing I learned from this WSS forum is,
there are so many places I have to visit.

That's for sure. Too many places to visit, not enough time.

Going back next winter to see what a winter is like and then if it's do-able, and my wife agrees,
maybe move there in a couple of years.
