More from Coal Lake

Posted on June 27, 2006 at 03:20AM by Registered CommenterAndrew Stark in , | Comments5 Comments
We were able to make our way out to Coal Lake again, and this time we brought back photos from lake level. Last time it was too dark to get good shots without a tripod, which I neglected to bring.

We were also able to get some shots of the muckiest section of the trail, although it is difficult to see how deep the mud is in the photos. In the photo on the right, you can see that there is a wooden structure that makes things a bit easier.

The fishing was good again, proving that the last trip was not a fluke. The driving conditions were slightly better, and I would now recommend this as an off-road trail with a diffiulty level in the range of moderate to difficult, depending on conditions. I do this with the qualifier, however, that it shouldn’t be driven at all in wet conditions. I wouldn’t leave for Coal Lake and expect to drive to lake level if there was any chance of rain. In dry conditions, however, it can be safely driven without much trouble. Bring mosquito repellant or at least don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Hey Andrew, can I used one of your photos in a thing I'm submitting for work? I'm supposed to provide a "snapshot" of the Yukon (climate, culture, etc...) I'll credit you.

Tony, shouldn't you have been at work yesterday? That is what I had assumed.
We caught two small trout, and Dan caught his first of the season.

Sierra, feel free to use any of my photos.
