Hendrix Lake: August 2006

We went up for almost a week on August 22. We met some new neighbours and Charlie was happy to know they have kids! Got lots of work done, tiled the furnace room floor, replaced some fascia and soffetting.

A few shots
of a nice
sunset we had
one night.

From our
frontyard.
This is the
prime
marshmallow
roasting spot.

Charles just
wishing he
had that key.

Our luxurious
and spacious
bathtub. We
have no running
water, so we had
to make bubbles
with an egg beater ;)

The new roof!! Now paint, paint,
paint...porch, paint...

August 11th

Here are a few new pictures from July. We went up at the beginning of the month and the bugs were horrible. All the flowers were in bloom though so it was really beautiful. Got absolutely no work done on the house but we brought the dune buggy so we had lots of fun.

This is the view from our front yard

Charlie checking out the bugs

The bugs

Here's a great shot of a storm that blew through one evening. It poured rain, hailed and the thunder and lightning shook our little house like crazy. About half an hour later it was blue sky again.

Here is a shot of the houses on the hill

I was trying to get a shot of the moon here, but you can hardly see it.

This was taken on the road to the mine, looking down at Hendrix Lk.

The General Store. The roof has collapsed in the front portion of the store, from what I understand it was being re-po'd by the bank and the owner took a chain saw to the beams...and there it sits.

This is where the road to the mine is de-activated. You can get through with an atv, the mine is about 2km from here. Still haven't gone all the way up there. We did walk down another de-activated road and I thought I was going to get eaten by a bear....
