What Were We up to in August?



¼



A million sunflower seeds had sprouted and taken over. Not expecting a big potato crop this year.  

We went to Scout Island one evening.


Not too many birds around but we did see two mule deer bucks.



We snuck into the closed river valley trail to check out the recent fire.  It burned hot.


We also drove out to Farwell Canyon to check out the giant landslide that cut off the flow of the Chilcotin River but they had blocked the road.

Trying to look down to the Chilcotin River from the roadblock

One day we rode the ebikes down the creek valley to the Fraser River.


We made it!  From our house and back we rode over 25 km.


Lastly, we came home one evening at 6:30 pm to find this on our front lawn.


Our neighbour has since seen a bear twice in her backyard.  We picked all 12 of our apples after that and I found and cleaned up a ripped up bag of garbage at the top of our trail to the dairy fields.  We are now keeping our garbage inside till the morning of garbage pickup and haven't encountered the bear since.
