Wells Gray
We made an early departure to Wells Gray Friday, June 11, 2021. We pulled up to our shady tree’d in spot and were warmly welcome by the local mosquitos. That evening we went down the road a ways to check out Helmcken Falls. On our way back we drove past a big ol’ black bear a few hundred meters from our camp site. Luckily big Bob’s bark kept him away from our camp site.
The next morning we were set to go on a boat tour with the puppies, but with the forecast set to rain all day, they decided to stay in the camper and sleep. We were welcomed onto our boat by our Captain, Paul. Paul sported a dressy captains t-shirt with a faux tie, name tag, as well as the classic white captains hat. We boarded the Merganser and headed down the lake. Stopping at misc waterfalls, Paul had a story for every location. He also had a runny nose. Paul had a shop cloth he would wipe his nose with that I think he’d been using for over a year. The once blue sheet was now almost a solid brown rag i couldn’t take my eyes off of..
When we got to then end of the lake, we took a short hike to Rainbow falls. Walking to the falls, we were directly behind Paul who may not have showered in over a month. Despite hanging back 5 feet behind him in a rainforest, his musk overtook the natural air and burnt out nostrils. Overcoming said obstacles, we made it to the waterfall.
As a part of the tour they packed us a lunch! Everyone got a sandwich with no meat on it, a piece of smoked fish and a piece of cake. In the rain, we zipped around the lake in a canoe quick before heading back to the camp site. The day we headed home we stopped at multiple water falls to see what all the hype was about. The best was Spahats Falls which had an unforeseen canyon with a sick view! We had a wiener in the parking lot then headed on home to home sweet ghetto.
