I finally got a new scanner and have been playing around figuring it out. I have some pictures of the cabin area you were interested in.

The head of Clowhom Valley looking back at Mt. Tantalus


This is the river up past the cabin about a half mile. Awesome fly fishing.


There are Blacktail Deer, Black Bear, Cougar, Moutain Goat and Elk in the area as well as a few small cats. It's a real fun place to be because it's always changing. The lake is a Hydro resevoir so the water levels are subject to change. The picture from the deck of the cabin. Well two and a half weeks ago my buddy and I walked across the river to the flats under the floaded area in gumboots. I took some pictures but they aren't developed yet.
What area do you live in? My wife is in England now visiting her Mom and some friends.
Take good care,

Those are beautiful sceneries my friend. I love to move away from the city someday to a remote area so I can get in touch more with nature. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us. Have fun!

Wow! Nice looking area. I'll take an 11x17 of the view from the porch for framing! That is one GREAT picture!
Did you have any success this season yet?

Thanks alot for remembering, those scenes looks just like paradise to me. I save them on my computer and have them to look at when its rainy here (often). How often do you go there?

I live 40 miles from Gothenburg in Sweden and it is a 2 hour flight from London from here. Compared to your landscape ours are really flat even if the people from Denmark dont think so. There highest "mountain" is about 120 yards.

I include a map here and some fine day a will take some photos from here and post them. I send you a mail then.

Mbogo - Your pictures are obviously faked. No place could be that beautiful! When can I move in?

Hi CCHunter,
My relatives come from Denmark and when my friend and I travelled in Europe we stayed with different relatives from the west coast in Ringkobing to Balerup just outside Copenhagen. We caught the ferry from Helsignor to Helsingorg (spelling) and trvelled up to Stockholm where we stayed in the port. If I remember correctly it was a youth hostel that was one of the old multiple mast ships called the Aft Chapman. We had a pile of fun while we were there. Do you get out hunting locally.

Take care

Hi Greg
The area has been pretty productive for everyone that has gone up with me but I'm still looking. I had my chance last week with a really big buck in the thick stuff where I like to hunt. Murphy was with me and I wasn't aware. I had the buck 75 yards in front of me traveling across in a meadow and my 45/70 front sight got wedged in the Y of a branch in some of the very thick stuff that I was going through. I couldn't get the dam thing free while I was watching the buck and had to tturn around to see what was wrong. The shot oppurtunity was lost during the episode. I'm going back up this morning for a couple of days to fix up the situation. We usually go there most weekends during the summer for fly fishing and exploring. Actually I start going there from Mid April when I put the boat in and take my 4 trax up until early Dec when I pull the 4 trax back out.
Take good care,

Awsome looking place

Geez 470, how can you handle looking at those ugly old clearcuts???

Canuck

Hi 470 Mbogo

I have been at the places you mention. Hafd holiday outside Ringkoping a couple of years ago and been in Copenhagen some times (flew from there to RSA). Correct spelling should be Helsingborg and af Chapman, but yours good enough.

I hunt localy and have 90 hectars to my disposale. Forest and some farmland. The forrest is (Canuck don't read this) about 50% clearcuts or newly planted. We find Roe Buck, Badger, Fox, Hare and some Moose here. For the Moose we are a hunting team of together 1300 hectars that have licens to shoot 2 Moose (1 mature/1 calf). All others are up to me to decide within the laws.

Are you planning for a new trip to Denmark soon?

BTW Greg, how is it going with your plans for Europe?

Ah, ... thanks for those wonderful images 470. They're like an instant mental health day.

Beautiful countryside and a perfect time for me to look at the photos. Cools me right down. Today it is 34 deg C here and dry. Last decent rain was in May.

Those photos would make perfect screen savers .

470 Mbogo,

Just looking at the logged areas, and was wondering if the logging company (or the Canadian version of our Forest Service) blocks the roads after their done?

Seems like many of the logging roads here are 'blocked' after they are no longer used. BTW, those guys are good at blocking them too! They build some nasty ditches, etc.

Just got back from the cabin. You know how you can hunt all day trying to do everything just right in supposed stealth mode and you come up empty. Well my intensions were to cut a lot of firewood. They have a burn area that was just full of yellow cedar which is prime firewood. On my second load of wood I saw a nice young 3 point buck standing on a side road so how eay would that be. The tires were already looking a little flat so in went the deer and off I went.

The roads are pretty much left open but are cross ditched regularly. They have decomishioned a few but they haven't been doing it lately. It seems a few of the roads do it on their own just from slides in the Spring etc. They have some of the areas logged up to around 4000-4500 feet. Their is quite a bit of Heli logging that goes on also. That's pretty impressive to watch. They did the valley behing my cabin with the big Sikorski Air Crane. That puppy shakes my cabin when it goes by to refuel. I haul my 4 trax in on my boat so that I can get access to some of the areas. My truck up there is just a beater for transportation in the valley bottom.
Take care
