Camping at Meziadin
For the May long weekend, as well as our 2nd anniversary, Lyndsay and I went south to Meziadin Lake for a couple nights camping. (Meziadin Lake is about 3 hours south of Dease Lake, about a half km south of Meziadin Junction).
The weather was terrific. On the first night, the Saturday, the wind was intense. We had to tie our tarp down in 8 spots, and at one point the wind gusted so strong it ripped the reinforced corner of the tarp right off. It rained a little that night, but by morning the sun was shining, the wind was gone, and things were looking pretty good. The rest of the weekend, Sunday & Monday, the weather was beautiful, warm, and sunny. We also took a drive out to Stewart BC, and Hyder Alaska, about a 45 drive West. The glacier and scenery along Highway 37a is incredible. Bears everywhere, and beaver damns all over the place. The mountains are beautiful. Hyder is small, about 130 people. Much smaller than Dease Lake, with all dirt roads. It was like stepping back in time. I felt out of place without a horse and buggy. It was nice to smell the ocean again though. Its been a while since we have seen salt water. While we love Dease Lake it was nice to get out of town for a couple days. Our campsite was right on the lake which was great. I'm sure we will be heading back there for a night or two later on in the summer. The next camping trip will be for 3 nights at Liard Hotsprings, about 6 hours North. We are looking forward to this trip - Liard was rated the best hotsprings in Canada by Readers Digest this month. I'll be sure to write about it here once we get back. << Return to Blog << Return to DeaseLake.net |
