Camping trip to the Tulameen Area

campsite at Otter Lake, Tulameen, BC

We went on a camping trip to Tulameen and the Merritt grasslands area at the end of May and beginning of June. We had a later start than we had planned ,but once we got going we had a great time. I was glad to be away from cell phone coverage for awhile! The weather was much better than it was at home.We had some rain , mostly at night , and it was cold. I was in my winter coat and tuque a lot of the time.  Strange for Kamloops to have been more rainy!

Gotta Go #1 - Tulameen Turtles

These pictures are from 2 caches on the Otter Valley Road.

We did a lot of exploring and geocaching and took lots of pictures. We chose the Tulameen area because of all the history in the old mining camps and towns and becasue the Tulameen Turtles and the Mozey-on-Inn had put out a lot of great geocaches for an event last year.
