Nahatlatch Valley, Summer Camp

Seven club members made the trip through the Fraser Canyon for BCLS Summer Camp near Boston Bar. The sunset August 2nd was colourful with the smoke from the Cougar Creek fire to the north west of our camp.

Heavy smoke from the Wood Lake fire near Harrison came up the canyon Monday afternoon, prompting one asthmatic member to leave early.

Field trips included Lightning Ridge and Sacum Creek FSR for agate, a bush whacking trip for amazonite, and a walk along an active rail line for soapstone. The warm weather also prompted some to venture to bars in the Fraser River.

Hoping for more photos from other participants.
