    Water resource mapping site

    My wife has shown me one of her secret websites. This is very much like the Aardvark site but is more centered around lakes and streams. It also includes a wider range of tools. If you are searching for a lake, this is the place. Enjoy. http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/wsd/data_searches/wrbc/

We were 6 days on the road and covered a touch under 1900km. As usual, we abhor asphalt, ride gravel if we have to, but search out old dirt tracks...
