The Leaf Mobile after many days of fishing the Thompson River and hunting along her shores is now anxious to turn her wheels towards the Vedder River. The Maple Leaf Drennan wants to dip down too as she could not fish the Thompson because of her fragile construction with the ML DNE getting all the action.
Anyway the LM talked me into taking a trip near dark to check things out in the Vedder.
It also gave me an opportunity to place 2 garbage bags by KWB and one in the Salwein gravel pit, companions for the 2 that are at the entrance to the BC Hydro Bridge, year round.
The Leaf Mobile reminded me that people must keep these areas clean as she is afraid her wheels will not traverse these areas if people continue to abuse the riparian zones with dumping,. She is pleased the Chilliwack Vedder Cleanup Society works with the City to keep these access areas open for her and not get close like the Abbostford side of the Canal.
While the LM rested her driver took a walk and saw the remnants of some fresh chinnok salmon kills that encouraged this walker.
A few tins were removed, enough for a coffee but very little garbage was found which was pleasing. The low water was noted but not enough for the LM, Maple Leaf Drennan to visit her at first light.
