Dirt Pirate Goes to Rhodo Lake - Nearly

Well I nearly made it to Rhodo the other day with a friend, but we were skunked by snow at 625 metres elevation.  On a whim, we buzzed up the hydrolines towards Rhododendron Lake.  It was a great ride.  Briefly, here is the route:

Starting at the nearest green path, we trundled up the hydro lines, through some deep puddles and wound our way west towards the distant lake: Rhododendon.  Except we didn't get there!  Snow at elevation stopped us. Still it was a very pleasent diversion!

 The bridge is over the headwaters of the Nanaimo River.  The beast is looking West to wards the lake which is still a way away.

Ahh the white-stuff.  I think it will plague us for a good deal longer at elevation.

 Looking back east towards Blackjack Ridge

 The Lake is behind the beasts, over that hill and away...We heard what we thought was a bull Roosevelt Elk booming along here.  Of course it could have been Andy's digestion too...

 

Ahh.  Fishing at Boomerang Lake.  Caught another trout!  Yum.
