Beaver Lake to New Denver, cont!

slide off the road and get stuck. We worked furiously
trying to push and/or drive back on to the road for
about an hour. Failing at this, we walked into the park
hoping to get some help. We walked about a mile and came
to a point where the road was washed out by a large
mountain stream. Since no one could have come down to
help us from that direction (The river was impossible), we
walked back to the car + decided to set up camp for the
night - it was too late in the day to walk the 10 mi
for help. Since we had some light left, we worked a bit more
piling rocks under the car + finally managed to get back
on the road. By that time we were so dirty, tired and
great-bitten that we decided to drive out and go to a
motel for the night. By this time it was dark + there
were large numbers of Lepus americanus on the road.
The first motel we found was in New Denver.
New Denver to Shuswap Provincial Park, British Columbia
3 July
Drove all day today hoping to find good Cenberotus
habitat. We found very little and since it rained almost
all day, we didn't use the day very effectively. Our
route was as follows: Hwy 6 N from New Denver to
Vernon. From there we drove SW to Okanagan
Landing where some animals had been collected in
the 1930's. Unfortunately, a lot of housing development
has gone in since then so we found no good areas. We
then drove N on 97 & 97A + 97B to Salmon Arm, then
