Butedale Memoribilia
Every year, more buildings fall into the water
Butedale Bowling Alley
Part of the Power Generating Plant
Waterfall outside Butedale
Today it’s a bit overcast, as we putter up Graham Reach to Butedale. A buck and doe were sighted when we were almost at Butedale, but no Kermode bears ): The white spray paint is starting to look good!
We are greeted by the ever friendly Lou (caretaker) at Butedale. As we are tying up to the float at Butedale, Mike and I knock heads (Literally!) His expensive Bolle sunglasses fall into the water, but wait, he manages to save them…..but alas….the arm on the glasses has been snapped right off! A true definition of a “cocobonk “ - CJ – I have a suggestion for Father’s Day!!
Things are looking worse than what we saw in 2004. More buildings have collapsed into the ocean and it’s almost a hazard to walk around anywhere. Mike, Wayne, Cathy and Dave go for a tour to the electricity plant and over to the Bowling Alley (A warehouse with Bowling Pins set up at the back)
We leave all the magazines we can for Lou as he paints and draws from the photos in the magazines and bid him a farewell with a promise to stop in on our way back. Another 16 miles up Graham Reach to Bishop Bay Hot Springs for the night.
