Forum Photo Contest!

[grammafreddy]

These pics are all supposed to be in BC, right?

That looks like an observatory but I only know of two - Victoria and White Lake - and this isn't them.

[Woodenhead]

oh damn - this one's just over the border in Alberta... popular spot and I figured a few of you had been there...

It's not an observatory...

[Queen K]

That's from the at the top of the Jasper Tramway, over looking Jasper and the Rocky Mountains.

Queenie is now Queen of the Photo contest!

(here's some other pics from there, for kicks)

[Queen K]

Queen! Woodenhead called me a Queen!

So now what do I shock everyone with? I've got everything under the sun to choose from, but a little bird asked me about the church I threatened to unleash upon this humble contest. Sooo, which one, which one? I'll go find a little something. Size and post it.

[Queen K]

Tell me the name of the dirt road this church can be seen from. Here's one hint: it's a well known backroad.

[Liquidnails]

Douglas Lake road.

I never would have guess except for the fact that I drove past it last summer. A heritage church is a good sign of either a ghost town or an old indian reserve. The latter in this case, I think.

At first I thought it was the one by hedly, but that one is up on a hill.

[Queen K]

I thought this one last at least a couple of hours.

Okay, Liquidnails! And isn't that a wonderful drive? Did you drive all the way from Nicola Valley to Westwold? We went from Westwold to Nicola Valley, caught Brookmere in the dying light and stayed over night in Merritt just to go to Lillooet the long way the next day. Takes us hours to get anywhere because photographing everything in sight is very important!

[Queen K]

Did I mention you're next?

[dirtybiker]

I saw it was just a rig. lol

AAAAAAAHHHHHKKKKKKK..

I'm shocked and I'm hurt!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, we came from Vernon to Westwold, did some camping and fishing up in the hills at Wood's lake and Jimmy lake, then got on the Douglas Lake road down to highway 5A and then to Kamloops. There is a lot of history surrounding the Douglas Lake area that I wasn't aware of.

I have a picture to post when I get home later this afternoon/evening.

Note to self: scratch Hwy 5a pix.
