We don't have many places where there are only tree stumps sticking out, except for Carpenter Lake which they flooded the valley to generate electric power. It is along a 160 km gravel road on the way to Lillooet and is probably impassable right now due to snow.<br /><br />I know Heather is the photographer in the family, so it was good to follow her suggestion<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Wet Coast Scootin</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-42057321197448317212011-01-14T01:21:34.096-06:002011-01-14T01:21:34.096-06:00Nice shot of the stumps coming up through the ice....Nice shot of the stumps coming up through the ice.

Hmmm, I suspect that means absolutely nothing but it tickles me.<br /><br />I'm on the lookout for Aslan. It is white here today -- 3 or 4 inches of snow on the ground.<br /><br />I'm always pleased when you comment. I don't know if you remember telling me to go ahead and buy a camera? It was in response to a comment I made on one of your posts. I was sharing how I was never much into taking pictures, but since I started riding I seeing things differently. It took me awhile to get the camera but I did. And, then came the blog. Thanks for the nudge.<br /><br />Ride safe,<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-46391048765628419242011-01-11T18:43:20.831-06:002011-01-11T18:43:20.831-06:00If it's Narnia then Aslan will be there soon!

I'm sure there were engineering reasons to go with the type of bridge it is, but what I like about it is that it is unique.<br /><br />About the buildings: I have no idea what the original use of the building was. I'm thinking it was a store. Nor do I have a clue as to the goal in rehabbing them. I do know that they used actual tile for the roof of the first building. Not cheap. I waiting to see what is going to happen.<br /><br />It is good to hear from you.

That said, it was still cold.<br /><br />Today, it is not clear. Today it is snowing. I suspect we will wake to 3 to 5 inches of the white stuff.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by and making a comment.<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-33665409924446026712011-01-10T20:30:17.459-06:002011-01-10T20:30:17.459-06:00Hi Keith!

I like looking at the stumps, we have a few lakes around here that are the same, cut off at the water line, that I absolutely hate kayaking in/around/over.

I'd be delighted to try it (with all this heated crap I've got for my K75) but the salt and sand on the roads has me temporarily grounded. <br /><br />The bridge has me fascinated. Any chance yopu'll do a ride focusing on this soon? By the way, do you know the original purpose of the first rehabbed house (the red one).<br /><br />Fondrest regards,<br />Jak * reep • Toad<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-75298611332316944762011-01-10T12:42:25.424-06:002011-01-10T12:42:25.424-06:00Sonja,

This is an area of extremes, but thankfully not cold for long stretches like in places North. Both +100F and single-digit F temperature have there challenges and both can be hard on machines.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and stay cool. I take great comfort in knowing you are toasty :)<br />~KeithKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-15067206327048448452011-01-10T02:17:07.499-06:002011-01-10T02:17:07.499-06:00Nice pics from the wildlife sanctuary.
