September Skies

I've been gone for a couple weeks - gone on a hunting trip, hunting in the Northern Cassiar Mountain Range in northern BC with my son.  It was a good and refreshing trip to spend 10 days in the mountains.  I'll post a few pictures later.

I didn't miss anything major in Bella Coola, by the sounds of it - some good weather and a few rainy days.  Right now we are having fantastic fall weather.  The Bella Coola River is a deep bluey green colour, with a slight whiff of rotting chum salmon and lots of happy eagles, gulls and piles of 'healthy' bear droppings.  The chum run was good thanks to the hatchery production, but I  haven't got much information on the pink salmon, which were hit hard by the 2010 flood.  The few times I was out, it looked pretty bleak for pinks.  Gardens have all had a happy July and August as well and people are reaping the corn and tomato harvest now.  Grizzly
