Fellow 'Fire Folks; Hopefully all is well with you all wherever on the globe this finds you. We're seeing the sun for a change once again today, but the unusually cold weather for this time of year has returned once again with the sun. Before going any further I just want to thank one and all for participating in one of the finer threads in quite a good long while - by this Canuck's estimation anyway. So a sincere thanks. When it snapped cold at the start of February we had a couple days of this which is relatively rare here. This is the top of the driveway. Dunno why I can't get these spun normal ways, but they steadfastly refuse my admittedly limited technical skills. Ah for the old days, eh??? Rural mailboxes Good stuff, at least I'm consistent this afternoon. My best friend and longtime hunting and used to be fishing partner dragged me back into fishing after a 15 year break more or less. He caught these through the ice in a lake north of here on our first outing. We caught these at a local lake yesterday. Well that one was right way up, again I am mystified at exactly what to do. Anyway the larger perch is 9.5" which is a personal best for me and not too, too bad for around here. The Rainbows and sole Brookie are all legal stocking by the Ministry and the perch are illegal stockings by local fruitcakes. As was the 12" Coi we saw ghost past us a couple times! Anyway as you can see I'm having an awful time adjusting to being back out on the ice. Buddy said I was the very model of abject despair... Had an older than me guy knock on our tent and ask us what we were using, etc because nobody else was catching. I asked buddy, "How do you think he knew we were catching?" He replied, "I'm pretty sure the tent doesn't contain your laughter Dwayne!" Anyway after too many hours of this. The driveway again is passable so we can get most of the rigs in and out instead of only the AWD and 4X4 variety. We'll continue on in another post, it would appear my limit has been reached, sideways photos and all. Dwayne

Fellow 'Fire Folks - 2.0: I was going to mention that I'm cognizant our local fish wouldn't work as bait for a lot of the offerings posted here, but it's a look at what we Canucks do in winter I suppose. With the apologies that these are reposts on my part, here's some BC views. Girls on top of Mt. Revelstoke to the north of us. Suspension bridge at the top of the gondola at Squamish. Hell's Gate on the Fraser - they say 200,000,000 gallons of water a minute when it's cooking... lots anyways. Long ago shot of our girls and a buddy's daughter on a 1930's restored wood boat in Cowichan. Back south of Revelstoke now, canoeing on Arrow Lake. Smuggler's Cove up the Sunshine Coast. Well that's it for now, thanks for looking and if anyone can explain to this semi-aged canine how to right my previous hoar frost photos I'd be obliged. All the best to you all and lets hope for spring to hasten it's way to us all. Dwayne

Boys and girls, we have been treated to an astounding run of top notch photography of absolutely breathtaking scenery on this thread. My hat is off to the contributors. I only wish y'all had given more info on the locations. Now I can only wonder....

Boys and girls, we have been treated to an astounding run of top notch photography of absolutely breathtaking scenery on this thread. My hat is off to the contributors. I only wish y'all had given more info on the locations. Now I can only wonder.... Hook; Good afternoon - or evening as the case may be - to you sir, I will hope that you're not mired in snow or cold down in your area. Indeed I too appreciate the labels and hints as to the photos, as personally we're amassing a bucket list of spots to see in retirement. A few BC water falls - Nairn Falls which is north of Whistler and south of Pemberton. Nice little falls on Blanket Creek which is south of Revelstoke - wonderful family campsite if one is in the area. One of the many fine falls to see in Wells Gray Park up north of Kamloops. Again really nice place to camp and decent fishing on Clearwater Lake if you bring a boat. This one is Helmken Falls - again in Wells Gray Park. Another one from Wells Gray - sorry can't recall the name right now. See if this fits - this is Howe Sound from the top of the gondola at Squamish - we like Squamish too! Well have to head out to the kids' place for dinner now. Son in law is a grand cook and am looking forward to it. We'll check back in later - all the best to you all and thanks to all contributors once again. Dwayne
