Our sense of timing for a walk to the lake was a bit off. The paths leading to the lake were busy and the High School Outdoor Ed. class were receiving canoe instructions.

With Bunchberry Meadows still closed and the newness of Prospectors Point, we opted to do a “completer” walk today. Our English friend calls this “Connecting the Dots” or “Closing the Loop”. This walk was not quite a loop, but there were some dots at the beginning.

Every time we are on the West Coast, we do our best to grab some fresh local seafood, wherever we can. On this date, we chose Go Fish near Granville Island. Arriving just before Noon, we managed to find available parking by the public pier and placed our order for fish and chips.

We have stopped at Talbot Lake in Jasper in all kinds of weather in all seasons. May is always a time of renewal as winter turns into spring. We enjoyed a stop to eat our PB & J sandwiches and stretch our legs.

The time had come for another 3,100 km drive out to the West Coast and back. Not sure why, but these trips almost always seem to start out with a bit of snow.

We enjoyed the walk from Prospector’s Point, through the Imrie Property and along River View so much last week, we decided to do it again this week, but skip the 346 steps up and the 346 steps back down at the far East end. It was another stellar day.

It is funny the things you see after a late spring snow storm. We waited until the walks were mostly clear before walking down to the lake.
