At the junction of Highways 99 and 97, 1km from a logging road near Hat Creek Ranch.

Participants

Plans

I was going from Vancouver to Timothy Lake (in the 100 Mile House graticule) for Father's Day weekend, via highways 99 and 97. How could I not try for this one?

The Veasy Lake Forest Service Road met highway 99 right about where I would have wanted to park, and gave me an opportunity to get the car off the highway while I was hiking, so I decided to go as close to the point as I could along that road. The terrain in that area is fairly open rangeland; treed but not dense, and the underbrush is similarly not dense. I didn't anticipate any major problems.

Expedition

Expedition report to come after I finish unpacking and have dinner. In the mean time, here is a photo of a lesson I learned on this expedition:
