Holland Lake

 This is my partner in crime that keeps me hiking and trampling through the area behind our place  this is on a trail coming away from Holland Lake as the crow flies it would only be 3 k.m but keeping to the trails it is more like 10 k.m to get there. Its a steady hike up the mt the last part is going up a washed out Quad trail.

These are pictures of Holland Lake I'm sure I was standing straight must be the way I held the Camera. This dike was build a few years ago by Malespina College  heavy duty operators, Walking along the dike you could here the ice moaning and making rumbling noises  and every once a crack would appear in the ice. No snow here put it was cold the snow was more on the covered trails.

On the way down  instead of taking the quad trail I went through the bush which ended up taking longer but I didn't have to scramble over rocks and the chance of slipping on the rocks

this looks over the gulf Island and if you look really - really good you can see mt baker
