Our friend Eric Busch stopped in to visit us for 4 days before he headed off to the South Pacific for 9 months. We wanted to do a hike and due to the extremely wet weather we felt going to McNair Cabin in Tetrahedron Provincial Park would be a good choice. We gained access to the park at the end of McNair FSR. The first hour found you being molested by slide alder and the last hour took you accross several slides (caution in the winter). We hit snow at the mouth of McNair Creek and crossed over to gain west side of the lake. We post-holed for about a half hour and got to the cabin. We got the wood stove roaring and dryed off our clothes. We drank hot chocolate and Bailey's and played a few boardgames. A good relaxing evening.
It rained all evening and on the way out the next morning the water was rushing. McNair Creek has a fairly wide bed and the added volume did not make the creek ford any more difficult. Where things got fun was the last washout before the parking area. A small seasonal feeder stream was gushing down as a waterfall. Eric took a video with his very compact waterproof video/picture camera.
