Fletcher Lake

Last Weekend we went to visit Dad at Fletcher Lake in the Chilcotin. He was up hunting with friends, so I took the kids up for a few days. They had a great time!
8 Grouse what a great morning of hunting with Grandpa and Doug 

Maureen suiting up Dylan to go fishing - Tayler was Maureens shadow most of the weekend


Greg and Dylan out to catch the big one!

Tayler helping Maureen prep the grouse for Grouse Fricassee for dinner
 We had a huge dinner with Tayler and Maurrens Grouse Fricassee and green salad, seafood pasta from the neighbour up the campsite, steak from us, Corn on the cob and coleslaw from Doug and Marg, it was sooooo yummy and we were able to have dinner outside JUST before the rain started.
Russells turn to catch another BIG one

Proud fisherman - braved the rain and a few claps of thunder to get this guy

 Monday morning we headed out for hunting and sightseeing. Not much game but beautiful scenery!

Farwell Canyon even beautiful in the rain and fog 


Old homestead right on a bend in the river


Can you imagine finding this place in the middle of nowhere 100 years ago and saying this is it ! And then winter would come - wow brave people! 


How many kms to where - just a minute let me check...

Community hall at Big Creek
