August 2009 Weekend Exploration and Fire Evacuation

After return from the trip with Ron, Tracey, Yoho and I did a little exploring.  We visited two lakes: Nahatalach Lake and Blue Earth Lake.


 Blue Earth Lake - fed by unexplored under ground springs.

When we returned to Lillooet we found that the fire was raging.  We were evacuated that day... exactly one year from the date that we moved to Lillooet.







Not a single home was lost to the fire, but we were evacuated for an entire week.  If the fire were to have reached the town, our house would have been the first to go as we are located at the top of the town.  When we drove away during the evacuation, the temperature was 40'C and ashes were falling all over ouf property.
