Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown.

It all started with Lynne who owns and runs the Cache Creek B&B. From the moment I had rang her doorbell looking tired, frazzled and somewhat sweaty she made me feel so welcome. I think most people would have thought twice about allowing such an individual into their house, but perhaps Lynne could see that I had had a tough day and that I would [View Full Entry]

To the Hoof and Return

North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vanderhoof

Of course before we take off across the world we have to get in a few more trips across the Province. A work trip to Prince George turned into a visit with my best friend Shelley and her girls, Bianca (Kotah's best friend) and Dayla in Vanderhoof. We met and became the greatest of friends as we were neighbours in a duplex in Cleawater. Oh, many a fun time happened there. Now we live 7 hours apart in good weather and i make sure I see them whenever possible. We had a great visit. Shelley and I stayed in and chatted [View Full Entry]
