Kleena Kleene
The furthest west red dots on this map is causing an evacuation. Horses and people have been moved north to Anahim Lake.

Re: Kleena Kleene
It's high elevation and north facing. Not sure about marshy, but lots of pine grass. That stuff doesn't turn brown because it's drought tolerant and protected by the trees.maryjane48 wrote:ground looks kinda marshy there . still lots dry grass though
This is also Kleena Kleene. South facing hills are interspersed with dry glasslands. As far as I know there is no cactus out that far west. It stops 25 km east at Tatla Lake.

Re: Kleena Kleene
It's a nice area. Kleena Kleene is at 3,000 ft above sea level. The Klinaklini River (same name different spelling) is one of the largest rivers in the province. It starts south of Kleena Kleene up at the Hellraving peak. It roars down the mountain side (though not as steeply as the aptly named Hellraving Creek on the south side of the peak), turns west the Halfway Ranch (it's halfway between Williams Lake and Bella Coola), joins with the McClinchy at Kleena Kleene, and cuts right through the Coast Mountains to Knight Inlet under the shadow of the 14,000 ft Mount Waddington to the south and the Ha-Iltzuk Icefield to the north. The latter being the largest icefield in North America south of Alaska, and the former being the tallest peak wholly within BC.tsayta wrote:Damn. I wanna live there
One cannot go very far down the valley before hitting impassible obstacles. It's just too rugged. Too rugged and wild for salmon to even make it up the river.
Going east is a different story. 25 km is Tatla Lake where the water flows east to the Fraser River via the Chilcotin River. No mountains east. Just lodgepole pine plateau and shallow valleys of mostly Douglas Fir, Juniper, and grasslands.
Here's the Chilcotin River at Bull Canyon Provincial Park, just west of Alexis Creek.

Re: Kleena Kleene
As for the -40 winters, that's very interesting. Remember that Tatla Lake is on the east sid e of the divide. It's colder than Kleena Kleene, and Puntzi/Chilanko Forks is ever colder. It gets colder as you go downriver east until about Redstone, then it starts getting more mild (but always hotter summers).
Check out the weather at Chilanko Forks! Try -63F as the the record! Now, just 25 km south of Tatla Lake (Chilanko Forks is on the east side of the lake Tatla Lake and the community Tatla Lake is on the west side) is Tatlayoko Lake. The average daily highs in the winter are often warmer than they are in Kelowna! In fact, a couple years ago I was keeping track, and it was 5 months in a row that Tatlayoko was warmer than Kelowna! This is because the valley flows south through the coast mountains, and get Chinook wind after chinook wind during the winter months. Here's the lake of the same name (the smart people out there live in that valley because it's so mild).

Re: Kleena Kleene
There are so many fires that even interface "fires of note" are getting completely ignored by fire officials. My friend is worried his house might burn down, but the locals have found all the equipment they can to fight it without Forestry's help ... http://www.wltribune.com/news/locals-co ... plex-fire/

Re: Kleena Kleene
They've now issued an alert for Tatla Lake. This map is interesting because it means that if the alert becomes an order the people down the west branch valley (bluff lake road) will have no way out since the road ends near the end of the map.
