21 August 2018. Kinaskan Lake Provincial Park, BC
It was another smoky day as we headed to our next Provincial Park. British Columbia was certainly having a bad year of forest fires. We drove south down the Cassier Highway, and I’m sure the views are quite spectacular, but our views were mostly of low hanging smoke.
We stopped in Jade City – a little store where they mined for jade somewhere nearby… They were apparently filming for a reality show about the place. (You know, we haven’t seen any TV for nine weeks now, don’t really miss it).
We sadly drove by the turn off to Telegraph Creek (the “Grand Canyon of the North”) where they were still on evacuation with many, many of the homes burned. This would have to be a visit for another time…
We found another nice spot along the Kinaskan Lake, and watched people fishing. The smoke had mostly dissipated in this area, but boy, it sure made for a beautiful sunset. I like Provincial Parks.
