We broke camp and were on down this road at around 11. We just poke along taking our time enjoying the scenery.
We were headed to the creek crossing called Doyle Crossing as we needed to get on the other side of the creek we were exploring to check out the last section for access.
The road was mostly pretty good.
These are the first cows we’ve run into. Things are lush and they are eating good.
We stopped to have a look in this creek before moving on to the bridge that wasn’t fair from this spot.
Doyle bridge crossing
We made it to the bridge and crossed it. We are going to explore the right side of it, down this way, looking for access roads which are far between.
We were surprised to find the road paved up from the bridge.
It wasn’t’ long before we turned off the paved road onto this road and knew the creek was down at the end of this big meadow.
Last Chance Creek Camp Spot 1
We pulled into this spot by the side of the road and were going to camp here for the night……………But.
Fishing
Marty got his fishing gear out and tried it out, but they wouldn’t bite. I think they are too full of all the bugs around here. The mosquito problem has subsided to something more tolerable. As you can see we did start putting our hanky on our head and then our hat to keep the mosquitos off our necks. That helped a lot.
Walk
After a nap, I walked out this sorta road by our camp that went up along side the creek, to check it out.
Beaver
I saw something in the water that turned out to be this beaver. It slapped the water and dove but soon returned to the surface.
I walked up the stream a little further and decided this would be a better camp spot than the one we had by the road.
On the way back, I spotted these willow branches moving on up the creek. Another beaver getting something to eat.
New camp spot
It’s easy to move our vans so we moved to this new spot by the trees and the creek where I saw the beaver.
I took another little walk up along the creek just before dark. This is a nice section of the creek with a real nice little camp spot away from the road.
This is were we are spending the night, nice and peaceful.
Tomorrow we plan to explore the last section of the creek.
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
