Olsen's Landing
On sunny days up the lake, we like to explore. In several places there are logging docks. During off hours, you can use them to access shore.
Last week we headed up to Olsen's Landing. In the early 1900's, families who lived in the remote Olsen Valley would bring garden vegetables down to Powell Lake. From here, they would take them by boat to Powell River for sale.
Today, the landing is used by logging companies to extract logs and cedar shake blocks to transport down the lake to Block Bay.
We've had minimal snow so far, but the rising Coast Range has a small base. See the pointed peak on the left? It's called Beartooth Mountain. Have dinner at the Shinglemill Pub at the south end of Powell Lake and get a piece of Max Pagani's Beartooth Pie. It's a delectable ice cream pie big enough and tall enough for two to share. -- Margy

What a lovely shot - the last one sure shows recent snow. Our mountains certainly got dumped on this weekend which is a good thing, Mount Washington Ski Hill can finally open now that they got 55cm in 24 hrs. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteStunning photos - love the snow on the mountains. It has been a slow year for snow - but I think this past week we might have gotten more. It certainly rained a lot down here - so snow in the mountains.
