Blogs from Terrace, British Columbia, Canada, North America

Sorry it has taken so long to update the blog. Sometimes the opportunity does not present it's self. Sunday August 28, 2011 Rain! When I left the bar last night it was raining. When I woke up this morning it was raining. I can only assume that it was raining all night. It rained until 3 pm. I had spent the whole day in my tent except for a few pee breaks. I had to move on. I broke camp and crossed the border into Stewart and had my first meal of the day at around 5 pm. I was absolutely starved. The grocery store was still open. I was surprised that a grocery store in such a small town would still be open on a Sunday. By the time I had my food packed into ... read more

Sunday, July 31, 2011 Furlong Bay Provincial Park, Lake Lakelse. 53 degrees, foggy with some blue and some high clouds. Since we all had various chores and activities we wanted to do before leaving in the morning, we agreed to meet at the Wal-mart parking lot after the first activity which we expected to take about the same amount of time. Jim, Diane and Rocky went to church and Valerie and I went to a cattle sort, an event for River Boat Days. Let me see if I can adequately explain a cattle sort. We drove a couple miles out of town to what looked like a very small fairgrounds type facility for horses and went into a covered arena. In the center of the arena they had constructed a good size figure 8 with metal ... read more

Happy Independence Day all...we have so much to be thankful for. I an so thankful for all service members this holiday as we celebrate our Nation's birthday. You are not forgotten and I am very proud of each and every one of you. Today, after leaving Jack Gunness and the Muncho Lake area I pushed with a little more vigor toward Alaska. However, day two of rain fell in my tracks and after drying everything out the night before, it was already starting to get wet. My packed gear always has stayed dry, but my boots were not rainproof and after about one hour my feet we soaked and starting to get cold. Temps were hovering around 55-57 during the rain. You need to be extra vigilant in the rain as the roads get slippery and ... read more
