We spent a few days in Lilooet BC exploring the area, and enjoying the local microclimate. Our favorite campsite in the area is the Cinnamon Recreational Site just west of Lilooet.
Seton Lake beach
It was so hot out that I even went in the cold cold lake
I got all artsy in the forest and tried to make pretty images of the trees, flowers and plants all around in the mountains.

Miyazaki House
“The Miyazaki House (formerly the Longford House) in Lillooet, British Columbia is an elegant house built by Caspar Phair in the 1880s. It was partially modelled after Mrs. Phair’s previous home, Eyrecourt Castle, in County Galway, Ireland. The gardens originally reached down to Lillooet’s Main Street. A.W.A. “Artie” Phair was next to live in the house, though he let the gardens deteriorate. In collaboration with the head of the local British Columbia Provincial Police, Phair brought Dr. Masajiro Miyazaki from the Bridge River relocation camp in Shalalth to Lillooet to replace the local coroner in 1945, and Miyazaki served in that capacity and, although only an osteopath by credentials, served in the capacity of doctor and dentist, and was living in Longford House in 1945. Dr. Miyazaki bought the house legally from Artie’s son, Harold Phair, in 1947, when the ban on Japanese Canadians buying and owning property was lifted. The house was then used as Dr. Miyazaki’s office until he donated it to the community of Lillooet in 1983.” from Wikipedia
