Love the old buildings and equipment, @BlackRockBigfoot. Although BC has fur trading and gold mining history going back 200+ years, not much survives in the wet coastal area where I live and explore; there is much more of what you show in the drier interior plateau.
Monday, the 11th, was our Thanksgiving holiday here in Canada, and since my family did our big dinner on the Sunday, I was free to do a day trip. I chose the Mystery Valley/Eagle Creek region due to it's distance off pavement and number of reports of sightings and footprint finds over the last few decades. The start of the gravel FSR is about 45 minutes from my home, and it's about 40 km on the main logging road to reach the Mystery Valley turn off. Once I was headed up that road, I explored every branch line off it, most of which were deactivated, with cross ditching to prevent the whole trail getting washed away in our fall and winter monsoons. I saw no big game sign, and no sasquatch evidence, but did manage to bag a nice plump grouse for a future dinner.
After crossing Mystery Pass into the Eagle Creek drainage, I turned upstream on the east side of the creek to a bridge about 5 km in, then headed downstream on the west side, hoping to reach Chehalis Lake on that side, but eventually reached a washout that was a bit too challenging to attempt, so I backtracked to the east side and reached the lake that way. The weather was great all day, and I sat for an hour in a camp chair during my lunch stop, with a great view of most of the creek valley below me. There were a few campers still at the north beach, where Eagle Creek feeds the lake, and lots of human and dog tracks all over the beach, so no chance of locating extra large tracks on the pebbly beach. Near dusk, I headed back towards Mystery Pass, exploring one more side branch before dark, then it was back onto the main FSR, and a bumpy 40 km back to pavement and then home.
