Hot Springs around Kitimat: beautiful bc mag summer 2012
You haven't truly soaked until
you've submerged yourself in a
wilderness hot spring. Three
seaside springs south of Kitimat
fit the bill -- Weewanie, Bishop
Bay, and Shearwater -- each
accessible by boat or floatplane
only. All sites permit camping
and have mooring buoys and
simple concrete or wooden
shelters over the hot springs.
-- Mountains rise from the
shoreline in Weewanie Hot
Springs Provincial Park on
Devastation Channel, where
visitors relax in odourless 38.6C
mineral waters within a low
concrete bathhouse.
-- At Bishop Bay -- Monkey Beach
Corridor Conservancy on Ursula
channel, two 100 meter board-
walks lead away from a short boat
dock. Take one path to the 38.8C
odourless hot pools and bath-
house, the other to a camping
area with raised tent platforms.
-- Shearwater Hot Springs
Conservancy is on the north side
of Alan Reach in Gardner Canal.
Soakers enjoy mountain views as
they prune up in a sheltered
bedrock pool of mildly
sulphurous, 40.6C water.

Upana Caves - beautiful bc mag summer 2012
Cavers get excited about limestone
deposits. That's because under-
ground water seepage naturally
erodes limestone -- prevalent on
northern Vancouver Island -- to
create a fascinating network of
tunnels. Even first-time spelunkers
can explore the Upana caves, 17
kilometers west of Gold River on
the gravel Head Bay Forest Road.
An easy 0.3 kilometer trail provides
self guided access to Corner Cave,
Insect Cave, Slither Cave, and
other cavities -- about 450 meters
of passages in all. Inside the main
cave, the underground Upana
River emerges for about 25 meters
then disappears; it reappears in the
smoothly marbled Resurgence
Cave. Dress warmly for 7C cave
temperatures, wear sturdy non-slip
footwear, and carry two reliable
backup light sources. Village of Gold River: 250-283-2202

Weather information provided by a Davis Vantage Pro 2 station mounted on deck
Weather data retrieved and processed by a custom Java application
Now(2012) also have a TWI weather station ... working on software for it, but note that
its anemometer is more sensitive/less resistance/less inertia in a light breeze, but
its rain gauge clogs easily and doesn't match the Davis unit.
Images taken with Sony CCD-TR600 Hi8 HandyCam -- retired it in early 2012, poor iris
Tried a cheap web cam from logiTech, but doesn't work well with high contrast
Have ordered a MoboTix webcam M24M- for try out ... seems used well in Nova Scotia and Italy
Installed in June 2012, much nicer camera, all inclusive package.
Images grabbed by gstreamer, changed to just wget from mobotix camera.
