One of of our hikes in the Wells Gray took us to an early, now abandoned, settler pioneer ranch. We saw how the early settlers lived. Life must have been pretty hard for those folks particularly in the winter. We were also intrigued at the promise of viewing a cone shaped mineral spring on the hike. When we finally got to it I was rather underwhelmed by its small size (I was expecting something a little more impressive) but nonetheless found it of some educational benefit. We finished our hikes each day with a late lunch or an ice cream at the "Strawberry Moose" a cafe back in Clearwater run by some friendly Europeans. One the menu were surprisingly eclectic options from "Cornish Pasties" to "Calzones" and Italian sodas. With no cellphone coverage at our cabin or in the park itself our visits to the Strawberry Moose provided a useful opportunity to catch up on emails and blogposts each day.
