Arriving
at the Willow Creek Headquarters (warden station) we met up with friends
from Jasper. You guessed it, the FTC99 (Sean, Angela, Mathieu and Pats).
They were in for ten days of hard labor. We got to join them for
dinner (a feast I might add) and asked them all about how their techniques
of constructing and detailing these bridges. All I can say is, HARD
WORK. The camp site is about two kilometres passed
this station.

Be
prepared to get your boots wet for this hike to one of the campsites on
the North Boundary Trail. We (Lydia and I)
access this route by Rock Lake in the Wilmore Wilderness Park.
If you take the route from Celestine Lake, it takes about 33km,
but if you take the route we took, it is only 13km. While driving to Rock
Lake we encountered Elk, Goat, Sheep, Whitetail Deer and Mule deer. You
can arrange to ride in on horseback. Book through 
The
trail is well marked and beaten by horses. The gentle open terrain through
this valley make this trip a walk in the park. Upgrades to the trail was
noticeable as we crossed some newly built bridges by the Fly-in Trail
Crew of 99 (FTC99). The sight of these bridges was definitely
a blessing to our feet. This photo shows the water cresting slightly over
the bridge on the far end. Below photo shows one of the upgraded bridges
that keep your feet dry. There is a section of the creek crossing that
you cannot avoid getting your feet wet, even after attempts to find shallow
channels and pole vaulting across with no success! Squish, sloosh, squish
...lucky the camp site is not that far.
