Northernmost parts (for us)











Hello folks. Again reading the phots upwards we start at Maligne Lake with the three flags flying (one Canada, one BC, one the lake itself! The lake's name is pronounced mar-ling 'cos its taken from the diary of a Roman Catholic French missionary priest who came originally to bring the gospel to the local Indian tribes (called First Nation people for the PC). he made one particularly bad river crossing in the area and declared it "particularly evil" or 'malignant'.
The 2nd and 3rd photos show how beautiful the lake and surrounds are. On the way back, voila some wildlife (photo #4). Back at Fairmont Hot Springs next day we saw hanggliders landing lakeside at Invermere (up the road from Fairmont) on a sunny, balmy afternoon.
See ya folks. Dennis

  1. Wow! You guys have been busy the last few days, while the rest of us have had a sleepy weekend here is OZ (a bit of rain actualy in Canberra but not too cold and enough sunshien o get out and about).

    I went to the "Craft and Quilt fair" this weekend with Yvonne from work and Amy Burke - we had a jolly time and didn't spend too much money :) Some good ideas and great fabric form Logans to go on with.

    Glad to see that Kath got the camera working - the photo's all look great!

    Love you all xoxoxox Maz
