@msquebanh I know! That was pretty great to find. I'd just driven through Manning Park in a very long downpour and wanted to get off the highway to stretch my legs. Storm cleared and I made some photographs I still like quite a bit (not always true of photos I made way back in 2010). Shortly after this, the sun came out:

@msquebanh I don't really recall, but probably not. Was likely a weekday, and pouring rain the whole time. I was coming back from Vernon or Kelowna I think. I usually stop at Lightning Lakes for a break but skipped it due to the conditions, if I recall correctly.

@michaelrussell I haven't been to Lightening Lakes yet. Maybe next year.

@msquebanh I haven't spent any real time there since I camped at LL in 1995 (it snowed and went down to -12 at night!). I'd imagine it can get more than a bit busy in the warmer months, but was usually heading through in May. Still some snow on the ground at that time.

@michaelrussell I like Winter camping. It's an awesome experience. Except for my very 1st time - when I didn't know small propane tanks totally froze when it gets too cold 🥶 That just made for an impromptu adventure to go harvest wood to build a camp/cooking fire 🔥 My friends were grumpy but I just adapted & even created a challenge on who can collect best tinder/kindling to start a warm fire to share. I didn't see the point of getting grumpy & sulking.
