That was my comment above. More photos of Chilko Lake and vicinity can be found on my Virtual Tourist pages for this area. (Darby2)

Just driving by!
I made a trip by road this summer to Tsuniah Lake via the back road from Chilko Lake as I have done several times in the past. The fishing in Tsuniah was fabulous as usual.
There were two planes parked on the turf nearby.
MCY
A great place to fly into, but ramp space is very limited.
CTL
A much busier airport back in the 70's.
BCI
I flew in here in a Stearman one day, and was warmly welcomed by about half the population of the town. A nice friendly place.
ROK
Situated right on the Tropic of Capricorn. A cattle town.
ISA
A good airport and quite an interesting city.
HTI
Seeing the amount of rock and soil they moved in order to contstruct this airport is mind-boggling.
OKY
Be sure to visit the Army Aviation Museum. Some great airshows were held here years ago.
Amberley
Lots of interesting military aircraft here.
TSV
Always efficient.
CNS
One of my all-time favourite airports, and cities. The birthplace of Bush Pilots Airways.
BNE
I can't wait until they open the new parallel runway. A pity it won't be pointing into the prevailing (south-easterly) wind.
KGI
Flying in here I am always amazed at the size of the holes in the ground. There must be some awfully big rabbits in these parts.
PER
This airport has to hold some sort of record for the number of SID's and STAR's. I guess they want to make it look like a big place. ATC seem to think they are at Chicago or somewhere.
One thing in very short supply is ramp space, and the delays in getting to the runway (particularly early in the morning - everyone seems to want to depart at 0600) are unbelievable.
A very clean and pleasant city though.
BWT
A cosy city.
KNS
The wind! The only thing between here and the South Pole is a barbed wire fence, and it is mostly broken down. Great seafood though.
LST
A lovely city, and very historic.
HBA
Last stop before the South Pole.
Parafield
A most friendly airport.
OLP
Growing to be a very busy place.
KBY
No shade anywhere.
RMK
Heart of the Riverland.
PLO
The tuna capital of Australia.
PUG
Birthplace of Pagas Airlines.
KGC
The main airport on Kangaroo Island.
CED
It takes a while to get there, but is worth the trip.
CPD
The opal capital of the world. The town looks deceptively small and uninhabited from the air, however most homes (and some businesses) are underground.
WYA
A pity they closed the third runway.
ADL
A great city, and very easy to get around.
SHT
A really friendly airport.
PTJ
Interesting weather in winter.
MBW
Back in the 60's this was the busiest airport in the southern hemisphere (by aircraft movements - most were training flights). Much quieter these days.
MQL
The best city in Victoria in winter.
HLT
Birthplace of Ansett Airlines.
ECH
Very historic town. Visit the paddlesteamers.
BSJ
Former WWII training airfield.
WGT
A real shame that the Airworld museum closed down.
MEB
Very handy for bizjets.
AVV
A handy alternate to Melbourne.
DPS
The runway gets extremely slippery when wet, due to years of buildup of rubber deposits.
LNY
A pleasant short flight from Honolulu.
HNL
A great airport to fly into.
YVR
Possibly the world's nicest city, and a very efficient airport.
VLI
Always enjoy flying in here. Can be a challenge when the weather turns bad.
TBU
A pretty place. Pretty frustrating too, as everything happens at snail's pace.
HIR
Needs some TLC.
APW
ATC are a waste of time here.
WBM
Just by Mt Sugarloaf.
