Trip to Smithers

Lovely sunny day on Seymour Lake.

 We drove up to Smithers to visit my mother last week.  My sister and brother-in-law kept us busy with several good walks.  On the first day we circumnavigated Seymour Lake which is a few minutes from their house.

The next day we drove out to Telkwa and walked along the Bulkley River.

Crossing the Railway Bridge across the Telkwa River

After  the walk we stopped at the Creamery Cafe for lunch.  They make very good soup and bakery goods.

The next day we returned to Seymour Lake  to put up the duck nest box Leo made Syb  and Dave for Christmas.

Before the ice melts they will return and install some metal skirting to keep animals away and deter the beavers that have been felling trees all around this one.  In the summer they can come by in their kayak and check for residents.
