The kids with the Omineca River valley in the background. Omineca means "Land of Slow Moving Water." While there may not be as much runoff this year as in others, much rainfall in the last week has brought rivers ands creeks in the area up, all testing their banks. With the high water date an average of June 10th, the area should be back to living up to it's name in no time. Right now though, the area contradicts it's name, as there is not much for slow moving water around here.




We came upon a sow and her cub - the mama waited across the road while the cub made it about 40 feet up the tree in about 3 seconds - I had no idea they could climb so fast (notice the blur!)

We didn't want to stay around long and stress them out too much so we snapped a couple of pictures and we were on our way!
