Pemberton - Nahatlach Weekend, July 25/26
As the title says - we checked out Mackenzie Launch in Pemby and then made our way across the Duffy Lake Road to Boston Bar. Just before Lillooet we watched a wildfire starting across the valley. The recent heat has parched the landscape and all that is needed to set a hillside on flames is a spark or a lightening strike. While driving on into a black wall of a thunderstorm between Lillooet und Lytton the wisdom of driving into the Nahatlach Valley in such dry conditions seemed rather questionable. But the storm brought with it a good quantity of rain – literally ‘extinguishing’ our concerns.
