KHChirps

• Our thanks to Gerry Hoye for organizing a dinner for Michelle Dressler who will be moving to the Prairies soon.   Additional thanks to David Langevin and Greg Arvidson for their support.
• Welcome back to the various groups who have been on backpacks and camps in the mountains.   Best of luck to the rest of the groups heading off this summer.
• The Nature Conservancy of Canada has lands in the BC Interior that are natural areas, but open for hikers to explore.   The largest one close by is the Lac du Bois Conservation Area.   We also hike the Napier Ranch Conservation Area.
• KHC has a number of bluebird boxes in the grasslands.   Michelle Dressler was maintaining these but will be unable to do so in the future so if there area any club members willing to take these on, please contact Michelle.
• When we carpool to remote spots on backroads, we sometimes need to use high-clearance or 4WD to get to the trailhead.   A few KHC members volunteer to drive these roads in their vehicles.   When we share rides on rough roads, riders should expect to pay an extra $5 or $10 (depending on how much rough road is driven) just for wear and tear on the vehicle.   Of course, any member can take their own vehicle to the trailhead rather than sharing rides with a volunteer driver.    Some of these routes are Eagle Pass Mountain, Joss Peak, Baldy Mountain (Dunn Range), Illal Meadows, Twin Lakes in the Monashees, Skoatl Point, Raft Mountain, Estekwalan Mountain Tuktakamin Mountain, Botanie Mountain, Stoyama Mountain , Bearcat Caves, Battle/Table Mountain, Clearwater River Road, Crowfoot Mountain, the upper Dewdrop Road, July Mountain, Guanaco Peak, some Marble Range routes, and more…

Retired now, I get into the outdoors most days to hike, paddle, camp, snowshoe, run, walk, or explore. More information can be found at: KamloopsTrails.net.
