Escott Bay Resort, 200 miles west of Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada


It's a fishing resort on a lake:

It's been 2 days and 800 miles of smoky driving.



It's clear here, but 30 miles up the road, I wasn't so sure it would be OK, it was so smoky. But, then, it quickly cleared.

I figured if I got here today, I could take a day trip in just the truck down “The Hill” to Bella Coola to see if I want to move camp there or not. The lady in the office said it was smoky there, so we'll see. This way I avoid taking the trailer down that 6 miles of gravel road with 18% grade in places, if I don't have to.

This evening, I went out to photograph the smoke coming over the lake:



And rthe fellow in the next campsite said “Look at that!” I got a picture:



It wasn't near the fires – it's off south of Anahim Lake – way out in the middle of nothing. It looks like a volcano.

But, large zooms are still not very good. Here is the wolf den with the alpha female sleeping alongside. This was from just over a mile away: And, of course, none compare to the Canon stuff at close range:

Tuesday, May 15, 2018 Mammoth Campground, Yellowstone It was a short day. After spending a chilly morning watching the den: I headed back to camp for lunch. Along the way, I found a black bear – walking across the Yellowstone River bridge! I took that picture through the windshield just as he was leaing the bridge. All the people behaved. The cars coming the other way stopped and waited for him to cross while the line I was in stayed well enough behind that he just walked all the way – right down the centerline. After lunch, I took a nap – for 3 hours! That kind of did my day in.
