September 1 - 8, 2026 I went on the Bowron Lakes Circuit with a great group of hard working people, two guides and 8 canoes. We had every type of weather and even some times when I could do some drawings. I didn't take a camera (and I am grateful that others did and shared their photographs with me. Here is my visual journal. My love of plants is obvious. The rain forest on the eastern side of the route was amazing. I didn't have time to capture it well. It was like Goldstream but has never been logged. Ancient and untouched.
