Our comedy photo….Future Store…opening soon. Prince George, British

Columbia.

 

Looking out of the doorway, Fort St James,

British Columbia. Fort St James is a restored

fur trading post used around the 1880s and

1890s.

 

Me and Alan at Stuart Lake which to me was like Scotland on a huge scale.

 

Restored fur warehouse in Fort St James.

 

Inside the warehouse. The furs were traded through the Hudsons Bay

Company. The most important fur was beaver pelt, which was used for the

hatting industry which was an industry local to home, in Stockport.

 

The restored trading post with our newly-made friend, John.

 

A map of the area drawn onto a beaver pelt, this map was drawn freehand

entirely by memory.

 

Moose!!!!! Not as good a picture as the Elk,

but at least we got one.

 

Extreme fishing! Morristown, British Columbia. We were lucky enough to

be able to watch some of the locals fish for salmon in the waterfall, it was

incredable to watch as they were simply using hooks on sticks to catch

salmon approx. 3 feet long. But what really made us laugh was that one of

men who was there, who was more native than Geranimo, proudly introduced

himself as "Cassidy MacDonald." He was a desendant from a Scottish immigrant.

There are many Scottish place names in Canada which seemed very strange

Considering we were so far away from home.

 

Me and Alan hiding behind a totem pole at Ksan,

British Columbia. Notice Alan’s odd arm…

 

 

Alan on the deck of the M.V Queen of the North which we were sailing on

from Prince Rupert in Northern B.C to Port Hardy on Vancouver Island.

The sail took 16 hours….through the fog and rain.

 

A train heading into Prince Rupert as we were heading away to Port Hardy.

 

The unsuspecting victims…. All of us about to board a Beech 18 Float Plane

but little did we know a thunder storm was waiting around the corner for us.

I have never been so scared in all my life.

 

A logging area with the logs being stored in the water.

 

The Pacific Ocean looking…um…wet.

 

Our pacific sunset…..I suppose it could have

been better but it was still lovely.
