adventure at thompsen park on vedder
« on: July 12, 2009, 04:15:56 PM »

a friend and i went fishing on the vedder at the t. park area
we didnt see the sign saying that the park closes at 9 so at ten to ten we we not so pleasntly surprised to see the gate closed
drove the perimeter and there was no way his jeep was getting out i flagged a guy down for his phone and we used it to phone his parents    his dad brought a tent and sleeping bags  for us and we managed to sleep
12 oclock a towtruck showed up
we had a good excuse and no cash or credit card so he let us off with nothing

thanks aj towing

haha same thing happened to a friend once, not there though. Good thing you thought to spend the night and were able to avoid having to pay for a tow.

Look at it from a positive perspective, you'll be the first to hit the run in the morning. ;D

That sucks that they would tow you for leaving your car there one night.

http://www.fvrd.bc.ca/Services/ParksandTrails/ExploreourParks/Pages/Thompson.aspx
citing from the website
"The Park is open from 7:00 am to 5:00pm daily. The gate is currently closed."
looks like the information is old
also
"No fishing permitted in the salmon restoration project. "
what is that and where exactly?
