Jackof Clubs Lake, or is it Ace of Clubs or Ace of Spades???
John and I were approaching the lake and we couldn't remember what it was called and those were our guesses.
If I do remember correctly, the real name is Jack of Clubs Lake!
Derek arrived on a Friday afternoon. That night we went to Ten Mile Lake for a swim. On Saturday we went to Barkerville, on Sunday we went for a leisurely stroll through Pinnacle Provincial park to see the hoodoos, and on MOnday we went for a drive to see som back country and wildlife.

John was chatting with the Mrs of this house, learning about all the utensils and such that were hanging on her wall.. including the bamboo rug beater that he remembers his mom using when he lived at home (not on him). The girls got to grind the coffee grinds for the next morning.

if you look REALLY close you can see the elk that we saw on our drive!
a baby moose. It wasn't long until his instincts kicked in and he ran to hide in some tall grass. When he realized that we weren't going anywhere, he bedded down and waited it out. We left then, cuz we couldn't see him anyhow.
