Buttle Lake, B.C - August 7, 2014

I have long wanted to explore the area in and around Strathcona Park on Vancouver Island. Kay and I finally did it this year. We spent three nights at the Strathcona Park Lodge. One of our adventures was a paddle on Buttle Lake. even though it is part of a reservoir system and shows the impact of logging it has beautiful clear water, dramatic cliffs, and inviting coves.

 Erosion has exposed interesting root sculptures.

 Kay has fun running a "slalom course" of submerged trunks.
