Rainy day on Kootenay Lake:
Anyways, trying to get into a location to do some prospecting. 4 Trips, always running into snow. Finally, End of June, it should be clear.

A trip back to Alberta, stop to visit a field of crosses between Cranbrook & Fernie - always wondered what happened:

Nice antique chest in Thrift shop, Calgary.
