    I love Harmon Lake. All campsites, practically have waterfront access however, this time around the weather was very cold and temperamental. This is in the Alpines after all just a heads up, there is no water or garbage. You need to bring this in with you.

    I love exploring this shop as its full of creative and crafty makes by local artists. The art on display changes up every few weeks, and there's always something new. Even when I'm not looking for a gift, I always seem to find something that I can't leave without!

    As part of our geotourism adventure, we visited the Nicola Valley Museum and Archives in Merritt, British Columbia. Although the Museum was closed due to covid, we searched for and found a nearby geocache called "Jesus Garcia". We learned that he helped form the transportation system that made the gold rush possible in this area. Before leaving the area, we admired the colorful murals on the outside wall of the Museum and Archives building.

    We were driving and saw the signs for Laurie Guichon Memorial Grasslands. There are various signs once you get there describing the grasslands, as well as the wildlife. It also educates one about the watershed. It is near Merritt, British Columbia.

    The grassland area is named after Laurie Guichon, who was a fourth-generation rancher in the Nicola Valley of the historic Gerard Guichon Ranch and husband of Lt.-Gov. Judy Guichon.

    Its a good area for bird watchers. Its also a good area to look for other wildlife.

    This is a great space for the community, attention to detail, staff is readily available to help. Large areas for children and a train that runs through the Nicola Valley in minature. Just a great space to spend time, a very comfortable meeting place.

    Beautiful park with some shade trees and a playground. Features about a dozen picnic tables. 2 bathroom structures.
    Of course the highlight is the spray park. Big highlight for the kids on a hot day.
    Didn’t see any soap in men’s washroom.

    My sister and I were looking for a geocache that was hidden on the hill outfside the cemetery. After we found it, we decided to explore the cemetery and gained an interesting history lesson about Merritt. We noticed that the well-maintained grounds had gravel in some parts and grassy areas in others. A large, bee-hive shaped monument, made of stones inlaid in cement, sat at the entrance. It was surrounded by lush green plants and colorful flowers. We observed that older graves were located in the gravel and had upright headstones. The newer section was all lawn and had flat headstones flush with the ground. Owned and operated by the city of Merritt, this cemetery offers in-ground burial for both caskets and cremated remains. Trees and benches dot the interior.

    We needed to stop for a rest, to take the eyes of the road since the drive from the Okanagan was stressful due to weather condition. A lovely Park, very clean, it’s obviously well cared for.
    There were some kids around, seemingly having a great time.
    Thank you for providing such a nice place.

    We stopped at the site of Merritt's old visitor centre to search for our first geocache of the day. As we followed the given coordinates on our GPS, we walked a cool and shady forest trail. From a posted sign, we learned that we were on the Godey Creek Trail known for its mountain biking, hiking as well as running. Visitors can bring their dog as they are allowed in the area. Bird watching is popular here. In addition, there is a picnic stop with spectacular views. It was a pleasant and easy uphill walk to locate the geocache. After finding the cache, we returned to our vehicle to continue on our adventure.
