Box Lake Dock by Rick and Janice Hogg
There were a few more tree down that had been on the road, don't remember any wind recently, maybe they were weakened in the big storm in September. Other activity and pollution - there were people and dogs prints in the snow on the dock. There was dog feces (again) and yellow snow on the dock. Cleaned it off the dock.

Box Lake Dock by Rick and Janice Hogg
One boat with two people fishing. On September 25th there was a bad wind storm in the area around Nakusp. At the Box Lake Campsite area and the road in, there was about fifteen trees that blew down. There was 5 or 6 right in the lower campsite area. More that half the trees blown over had root balls attached. These were large mature that blew over. I have lived on Box Mtn for 41 years and in January 2021, there was also a bad wind storm in the Nakusp area. We lost about 50 trees on our property, about 2/3s with root balls. These were also large matures trees. The wind actually twisted/ripped a large mature fir tree off just above the trunk. Box Mountain is a watershed, so there are some big trees. Nakusp is not normally a windy place, wind storms happen but they are rare. In the past five years or so, we have noticed more winds and the winds seem to swirl around rather than blow through.
