For a few dollars you can also “camp” in the parking lot of the Riversong but in our case
we carried on a few kilometres up the road to set up camp in the free forest service site on
the river. The local First Nations band has a fishing camp next door. A few minutes after
setting up a local lady walked over to warn us that a grizzly sow and her three cubs made a
habit of walking through the campsite we'd chosen so we might want to relocate to one of
the sites off the river.
Ever eager to catch sight of a grizzly, we thought, no. We would be careful - keep our bear
spray in our pocket and a sharp eye out. We hoped that from the safety of the van we'd get
a chance to see her and the cubs. But no luck, the night passed peacefully although their
fresh paw prints were clearly evident in the river bank.
Driving back out the next morning we did see a lynx. It shot across the road then turned
around and looked right at us before starting up the bank. It stopped dead; thinking, I guess,
that if it could no longer see us, we could not see it. But we did, snapping off dozens of
shots of its backside frozen in the foliage. Eventually it snuck a quick look, saw we were
still watching it and took off like a shot.
