Heading down the West Side of Gray Creek Pass


Heading down the West Side of Gray Creek Pass. The road on the Kimberly side is real rough and the west side is really steep. Trust me on this. My 1995 Toyota 4-Runner did'nt have enough compression so I had to 4x4 low to go down the west side.

Looking down Laib Creek ( Darkwoods)


Laib has been logged extensively as has alot of the private land holdings known as Darkwoods Forestry.

Darkwoods Forestry has managed private forestland located
between Nelson, Salmo and Creston for 36 years.

Darkwoods Forestry is wholly owned by a German family, which has owned and managed
forests in Europe for several hundred years.

Duncan Lake Reservoir


Duncan Lake Reservoir or should I say where Duncan Lake Reservoir should be. This is a early spring time shot after BC Hydro has dumped the reservoir over the winter. The dam was built for flood control on the Kootenay and Columbia river systems.

Rory Creek


Backend of Rory Creek. A fire burnt through Rory Creek in 1985. One of the worst fire years the BC saw up until then.
