chatterbox falls
I've been dragging my feet on this one, and I think it may be because I went way overboard on pictures. Generally, I'll take 150 - 200 shots on a really good day. Today I shot 537 pictures - a personal record for 1 day. Dredging thru this mountain of stuff, trying to decide what and which to use was daunting. Finally, today - 7/26 - I just cut thru the b.s. and started editing. Let's see how it works out.
The new Canadian Topo program for the Garmin GPSmap60CSx works out well, but I'm finding the software awkward to use. Here's the trail of my day's adventure - about 40 miles each way, from Egmont - a very scenic little town - to Chatterbox Falls. On my return, I kept going, back past Egmont to Skookumchuck Narrows Rapids and then back to Egmont - altogether, about 100 miles for the day.
In 1973, my ex-wife-to-be and I flew to Vancouver, B.C. to meet my Uncle and Aunt and they took us to Vancouver Bay in their 21ft boat. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, the Oysters and Clams were thick on the beach and large, feisty Dungeness Crabs were just offshore. We ate high on the hog - introduced Janet to raw Oysters and wine-steamed clams - and had a wonderful time. Now, 36 years later, I finally returned. Great memories, and much water under the bridge.
So........start from the scenic little town of Egmont and start north thru the Prince of Wales Reach of Jervis Inlet. The B.C. coast is laced with these fjords and scenery is spectacular. Here's the Garmin. Skookumchuck Rapids is just above Doriston, Vancouver Bay about center on right side.
Looking at maps is neat and I love 'em but nothing equals the real thing. Here's Prince of Wales Reach, looking pretty much north. (I'm very sure the Garmin labeling is in error. According to Canadian Gov't mapping, Princess Louisa Inlet is the one with Chatterbox Falls at the end).
