Chilliwack, British Columbia
Day 11 – Friday
A Relaxing Day for Me
It has been cold and rainy during our stay in Chilliwack, and today was no different. It began to snow while we were eating breakfast. The temperature has been in the forties.
Cerwin and Dave discussing the weather.

I chose to stay home with Annie today, and get some of my pictures updated for a PowerPoint presentation at tomorrow night’s banquet. The men were finishing up a few things at the chapel in preparation for Sunday’s dedication service. The permanent electric could not be hooked up due to a permit, so Cerwin did it through the generator on the tractor – which usually pulls the promotional chapel, and is set up with a generator. Dave pressure-washed the blacktop surrounding the chapel so it will be clean for Sunday.

The sun was shining during supper, so Dave asked if we wanted to take a drive up one of the mountains. We love seeing new scenery, so it was not a difficult decision.
However, true to the weather pattern this week, it soon began to rain.
I did manage to take a few pictures. The snowline is low in the mountains due to the morning snow flurry.
We stopped on a plateau partway up the mountain where Dave and Annie’s church has a beautiful camp overlooking the large lake.
We walked to an area where you can usually have a good view of the lake and mountains, but we saw mostly fog and clouds.
I love the tree-lined driveway.
Then we drove farther up the mountain to another plateau, where there were a lot of small farms – some well kept…
others not so well kept.
You can see that we are now in the snowline.

I was intrigued by this upper plateau. It was so flat – just like the valley below where Dave and Annie live.

You can tell this is an area rich in rain because of the moss-covered trees.
