We saw the name of the place on the sign and curiosity compelled us to pull in and check it out. There was also some trepidation. Skunk and cabbage can both smell pretty rank on their own, so we weren’t really sure what we were about to walk into except, perhaps, olfactory double jeopardy.
We didn’t really encounter anything that smelled awful per se, but I was building up a good case of gear remorse by this point. This was the third location to feature moving water that I would have killed for long exposures of, but I left the needed kit back at home. I am such a dumbass some days.
We thought the boardwalk would be longer than it was. It felt like about 600m in and 600m back for 1.2km, if that. I suppose that was okay because we were starting to get a bit tired of walking by this point.
We had contrasty overhead lighting for a good portion of the walk, which made getting good shots difficult out in the open. Inside of the trees was a different story…
My best shots from the trip turned out the be the ones of the small wooden bridge over the creek. It would have been nice if the bridge was more, eh, “historical” in nature, but as always, photographers take what they are given.
We were gratified that nothing there lived up to the name and caused olfactory overload. It was hot and we had seen enough so we piled back into Vlad the Impala and kept rolling towards Salmon Arm, BC.
