all original, exclusive pieces of art. Jack and I spent about an hour talking to Angelique and we learned so much about buff alo skin moccasins, moose hair fl owers and animal designs that she and her sister make. Angelique is a Cree Indian, originally from Manitoba, and now lives in Prince George. She is one of only three people who continue the art of birch bark biting. Yes, you got that right. I had never heard of this before. She showed us some of her work and it is hard to believe that such beautiful pictures can be made by biting birch bark. For my birthday giſt , Jack bought me a design of Hummingbirds feeding from a fl ower. It seems Hummingbirds mean “Love”. I can only say that if anyone is visiting Prince George, do visit this lovely lady and listen to her stories and see her unbelievable works of art. T e next day Jack got to visit the Railway and Forestry
Museum. T ere is a real miniature steam train you can ride around in. Great place to stop with the family. T ey even let you take in your dogs. On our last night in South Park, it was a beautiful warm evening
with the stars out. T e shadows made by the spotlights around the washroom and laundry room gave everything a soſt ethereal glow. About 10 p.m. Jack decided to go out for a breath of fresh air and hadn’t been out for more than a few minutes when he opened the door and soſt ly said, “Come out here-Now!” Lo and behold, about 100 feet from where we stood, was the
majestic silhouette of a bull moose chewing at the manicured lawn. Suddenly he took a couple of steps in our direction and my knees started to shake. I told Jack I was going in, as I couldn’t tell what the moose would do next. It wasn’t long before Jack came bounding in and said, “T e moose is on the move!” It was all very uneventful but exhilarating. In the morning the rain started again, so we knew it was the
right time to leave. We had planned to go to Clinton but when we got to Lone Butte we thought it would be diff erent to take the scenic route. It was beautiful with tranquil lakes, log homes, and small businesses nestled among trees. We continued through to Sicamous where the rain fi nally stopped. We pulled into the KOA for much needed relaxation. Next day we leſt for our favourite location: Revelstoke. We spent time visiting with friends and checking out all the new expensive homes being built at the McKenzie Ski Hill. We all spent the next three days completely relaxing and preparing for our fi nal journey home to Kelowna. Our 4,000 km journey was a wonderful trip of changing scenery and climate, compared to our Okanagan’s heat and desert conditions.
