Even with the mosquito bites, I would love to go to BC again. As their license plates say: Beautiful British Columbia, everything I saw was clean and showed the pride of the people. And I saw a good variety of places, except for the city life. Glaciers, bears, salmon runs, rivers, totem poles, museums, suspension bridges, canyons, waterfalls, temperate rain forests. .trees, wild flowers, native craft work, lots of fresh cold streams. I cooked over wood fires, hiked above the tree line (alpine), saw dozens and dozens of bald eagles and plant life I have never seen before. Camped in the rain, cooked on an old wood stove, lived without running water. . .picked and cooked wild Saskatoon berries, raspberries, fresh strawberries from the camp garden. Cooked and ate fresh salmon. Had fresh chamomile & mint tea, cowboy coffee and cold well water.
Met chiefs of the Gitsan and elders of the Nispa clans. Walked on 300-year-old lava beds that had buried 3 villges & killed 2,000 people under 12 feet of lava. Swam in lakes formed by glaciers & lava flow. Oh, yes. . we also canoed in a 12-place canoe along 46 Kilometers on the Skeena River, watching salmon splashing & running next to shore, fox, coyotes & bear along the roads.
