Hunts, Sam, those are some nice pics of pretty country! Nothing beats southern Alberta through Wyoming this time of year. I miss roaming up and down the front ranges and out onto the prairies in summertime, in warm but not immoderate temperatures. Of course, it's running 100F-plus every day down here now...

Looked at the Hunter's Campfire topics list this morning and wanted to puke. All these damn evil topics! I realize it's stuff that folks want to talk about, but it can't be good for people to dwell on the negatives so much!
I think we oughta consider a rule change around here... it seems to me that this forum would be a lot healthier for everyone if you had to post a pic of a positive life event at regular intervals. Say, one pic for every 5 posts you upload.
It would eliminate the out-and-out trolls, I expect. And it would considerably brighten the outlook of most of our more curmudgeonly curmudgeons.
What say you, boys?

Doc; Top of the morning to you sir, I trust this finds you all doing acceptably well.
We've had an unusually cool and wet couple of months now after a near record hot May. That's likely my fault though since I picked up that old rag top Mustang about then....
Anyway here's what we were looking at a couple weeks back. Hell's Gate on the Fraser is interesting if you like that sort of thing. You take this tram to get across to the west side for the best views. Not free by any stretch, but still.
Looking south from Hell's Gate in the Fraser Canyon.
Looking north up the Fraser Canyon.
The photos don't show the sound and give the viewer the "entire picture" really - it was a low water year this year and there were 2 Million gallons a minute flowing that day. This is a video of a couple years back when it was 40' higher.
We did the tram at Squamish too - a must do on even a semi clear day like we had.
Part Two; Suspension bridge on top of Squamish Tram if you don't mind heights.
Nairn Falls on the Green River - just south of Whistler or north of Pemberton.
We'd been there years back when the girls were young and it was nice to see it was still the same.
It's not called the Green River for nothing.
Again it's difficult to convey how much water is coming down in spots like this. Back then we took a trip up the Green in a jetboat - again not free, but memorable indeed.
Anyway Doc and fellow denizens of the Campfire, thanks again for looking and for keeping this thread around.
