Lots of old timers in the crowsnest pass are still mad at the NDP government for taking out the road to middle kootenay pass to their berry patch.
Young guys can still walk or take an electric bike but us old guys can just curse.

Yup!
Pretty nasty move eh? Let em pick. It’s a bloody fire road to there anyways.
There’s a couple other places ya can’t get to because if the quad ban as well.
It sucks.

Be grateful the wiser ones are even allowing you to pick the Queen's Castle berries.
I'll bet not one of you common poachers followed the law, instead ignorantly stole from the Crown.
That looks awesome Speckle. Those are the Best berries of all.

So if we follow these regulations about picking in a provincial park then we have to have permission from a conservation officer.
So I wonder do all those people who take part in the Castle mountain berry picking jamboree have to get permission from a conservation officer or do they live by special rules.

Hucks
Here is a pic of the second cooler full we have picked this year. That's all my back can handle LOL! We are done for this year. Let the bears have the rest.
We were severely beat on as kids if we even suggested using a hand picker and screen. Wrecks too many plants according to my Parents.
The Wife makes jam, pancake syrup, pies etc.. Absolutely delicious!

I would like to apologize to speckle 55 for turning his positive thread into a negative thread.
I am glad you got some good berries. Mom used to freeze them and we would have them with dinner on special days.

Well, after reading Bessie's post about berries, we went up there on August 19th. Should have looked at the satellite photo beforehand to remind ourselves how far it was, although that would not have prepared us for how rocky and bad the trail has become once you get to the junction of the West and Middle Kootenay Pass Trails! When the Hublet read the sign that said 5.4 km still to the Pass, he wondered if maybe we should turn around. But we didn't. We didn't make it to the Pass but were very close and just too tired to go further. too tired to get more than about 1 1/2 quarts of berries, and we were just beat by the time we got back to the parking lot!! We were sore for three days afterwards! 
So I look upon these massive berry hauls being posted, and weep...

It's the WWW (Wild Wild West) in the Pass as far as OHV traffic goes. This past weekend there were quads and motorcycles on every trail in the area. The Livingstone PLUZ has very few designated trails, in comparison to pre PLUZ designation, but that didn't stop the hordes of riders I encountered while I was elk hunting. It's no different than before the trail closures, there is still no enforcement, so have at 'er boys. 12 motorcycles tore past me while I was walking a single track (never was a designated trail in the first place). It's chaos without enforcement. Local guys mostly know the enforcement officers and abide by the legislation, but the visitors, feigning ignorance take to the trails like there are no rules. No wonder we get the government we deserve.
