Week 3: Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin

Attempt #2 of re-uploading Vitor’s Capoeira stunt.

Now those two are in a paddle boat together.
Tyler getting ready for a one man kayaking trip!
Testing out my telephoto lens with a shot of Megan and Heather far out into the lake.
There’s Ann, our lovely host on Sunday.
Anddd of course Vitor and I get a turn as well!
After some long hours of Horsefly Lake fun, it’s time to relax with a round-table discussion of our practicums so far!

The lake was super cold but Tyler, Vitor, and Heather decided to go for a dip. This is an attempt by the boys!
My third week involves developing school curriculum for the artifacts inside the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin.
The museum limits the use of photography while inside, therefore these outside photos will have to suffice!

View #3.
I met Ordell on my first day here at Williams Lake during the orientation meeting at the school board office. I had to get a photo of him before he left for his haircut on my last day here.
And of course he comes back from his haircut! Time for a group photo! Pat is on the left; she is the manager of the museum. Ordell was a former board member of the museum.
Final Report
I’ve included here my final report of the museum that highlights what I’ve done here this week. Unfortunately, I cannot post contents of the museum package due to copyright laws involved with the textbook pages. However, for the rest of this blog post I will show the TC’s afternoon adventure to Farwell Canyon after helping out at Grad Transitions on tuesday.
Heather and Rum at the beginning of our hiking trip to the top of Farwell Canyon.
This is me at Farwell Canyon.
The surprising and amazing thing about our hiking trip was the fact that the museum had information about the two bridges we’ve crossed to get to the hiking trail.
That calls for a comparison between the olden day bridge and the modern day bridge pictured here in the middle top-right.
This area has sand dunes as well! Who would’ve thought that even in BC there’s desertification happening eh?
As I was talking to Pat in the museum about our trip to Farwell Canyon, she noticed I had taken a photo of a house on the Chilcotin Riverside using my telephoto lens. I’ve learned that this was the house of the Farwells that gave this canyon its name. How exciting!
How can I miss Vitor out of this afternoon excursion eh? It looks like I caught him just waking up from a nap by the canyon side.
Finally, on our way back we saw a lenticular cloud forming above the valley.
