Universal Coordinated Time UTC – ZULU is a 24 hour clock . In March, 1946, when I was 20 months old, we moved to Minto, in the Bridge River Valley, BC. Minto is now flooded out by Carpenter Lake a Hydro-Electric Reservoir. My Dad had been hired on the Bridge River Power Project as a heavy-duty mechanic and welder to work on the Lajoie Dam. Most all of that electricity is dropped down into the Lynn Valley, North Vancouver, BC substation (follow the high-tension from just west and above Karen Magnussen Arena; two blocks south, following trails in the green space to https://mapcarta.com/W117564281) ~ So, When you turn on your cellphone, lights and TV please remember to thank my dad, Clarence Fredrick Webb, for sliding around on his back in the minus 40° C degree frozen mud to fix the equipment used to build the Lajoie Dam. My first best friend in Minto was Frenchie, an 75 year old prospector. He delighted in letting me hang around as he, all by himself, built his retirement log cabin. He showed me how and where to find gold, and extract it from the ore. I showed him how to make my grandmother's peanut butter cookies. When I turn two years old, for my birthday present, he had me put out my left hand, palm up. He dropped a small bead of mercury there, for a minute. WOW ! I'd never seen anything like that in my whole life, to date. Placer gold has come from black-sand in the creek and river bottoms. Frenchie helped me figure out so many things. Like, where does all of that black-sand containing gold come from. Up? Those who dance with earthquakes and volcanoes are considered mad by those who cannot smell the sulfur. In February, 1947 he put the pointy end of his shotgun in his mouth and blew his brains out. I still miss him, even to this day.

Mt Meager Massif (southside) Landslide Fly Over

The Mount Meager massif produced the largest volcanic eruption in Canada in the last 10,000 years. About 2,400 years ago, an explosive eruption formed a volcanic crater on its northeastern flank and sent avalanches of hot ash, rock fragments and volcanic gases down the northern flank of the volcano. Evidence for more recent volcanic activity has been documented at the volcano, such as hot springs and earthquakes. The Mount Meager massif has also been the source of several large landslides in the past, including a massive debris flow in 2010 that swept down Meager Creek and the Lillooet River.

The Mount Meager massif is a group of volcanic peaks in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. Part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc of western North America, it is located 150 km (93 mi) north of Vancouver at the northern end of the Pemberton Valley and reaches a maximum elevation of 2,680 m (8,790 ft). The massif is capped by several eroded volcanic edifices, including lava domes, volcanic plugs and overlapping piles of lava flows; these form at least six major summits including Mount Meager which is the second highest of the massif.

Six main summits constitute the Mount Meager massif. The highest and northernmost summit is Plinth Peak with an elevation of 2,680 m (8,790 ft).[1][25] Mount Meager itself is 2,650 m (8,690 ft) in elevation.[25] Capricorn Mountain west of Mount Meager rises with an elevation of 2,570 m (8,430 ft). Just west of Capricorn Mountain lies Mount Job, 2,493 m (8,179 ft) in elevation.[1][25] Pylon Peak with an elevation of 2,481 m (8,140 ft) is south of Capricorn Mountain and Mount Meager.[25] Devastator Peak, also known as The Devastator, has an elevation of 2,315 m (7,595 ft) and is the lowest and southernmost summit of the massif.[1][25]

The Garibaldi Volcanic Belt (GVB) has a long history of eruptions and poses a threat to the surrounding region. Any volcanic hazard ranging from landslides to eruptions could pose a significant risk to humans and wildlife. Although the massif has not erupted for more than 2,000 years, it could produce a major eruption; if this were to happen, relief efforts would be quickly organized. Teams such as the Interagency Volcanic Event Notification Plan (IVENP) are prepared to notify people threatened by volcanic eruptions in Canada.

Taking off from pumice mine about 1 km north of campsite. Fly over of campsite and the ridge we were evac'd from. Fly up the Meager valley to Mt Meager and Capricorn Glacier. You can see the natural lake created by the slide in a few shots. This is what created the Pemberton evacuation warning. Fly back down valley towards Pemberton.
