Balsamroot Expedition


 A group of us drove out to the Junction Sheep Reserve in the Chilcotin for our annual balsamroot tour.  Well, almost annual, last year  we didn't make it out. The roads were too iffy because it never stopped raining last year!


At first it looked like it was not a good year for the flowers, and the road in was pretty muddy.  We had to drive around some holes, and we had one vehicle get stuck.


Fortunately, we had tow ropes handy (after our last adventure) and pulled them out quickly.

We drove further on our route and the flowers definitely improved!





Too top it off we saw a black bear who ran off across the meadows.

A great day, but nothing beats the florapalooza of 2018.
