Some Photos from the Daughter's Visit. We explored, the old abandoned Marble Quarry, the Ferry to Proctor, the Ferry over then down to Creston, back over the pass, metal detected the beach (only find: A lead fishing weight), hung out at Oso, generally a laid back vacation, the weather not (yet) good enough to accommodate my prospecting interests (to her immense relief, I'm sure....)

At the abandoned Marble Quarry

The Graffiti makes a great space even better, and it's constantly renewed...

Ferry to Crawford Bay

The Glass House

The Glass House. Always wanted to stop, finally did, it wasn't open...The Story goes that they bottles were from a funeral home - they all held embalming fluid. Curious.

An old mine shaft beside the road, a few of these, only to discover I hadn't packed a flashlight. Grrr!!!...I need to be a little better prepared...

And this, a favorite house on the way out of Nelson, creative use of a rockslide, a shame it's so close to the highway...

And waiting for the roads to be cleared at the top of the Kootenay Pass...still a good 10 feet of snow at the higher elevations...
