The Christmas vacation is now a memory and we have entered the second phase of our Kamloops adventure; the run up to Spring Break.

Not everything is scenic

Buried in the middle of the mountains not too far from Kamloops and Ashcroft is a giant mine with its adjoining tailing ponds. Not the prettiest sight.

Too bad it wasn't a bright sunny day. But everyone who made the trip enjoyed themselves even though in mid October there wasn't that much snow.
