Really great story. I started it thinking it would quickly scan it and move on, as I do for about 90% of online blogs that I peruse through during a web-browsing leisure session. However, that being said, before I knew it I was engrossed ii the story and read every word from the first to the last! It was engaging, interesting, and had a light, enjoyable tone that instantly transported me back to my own childhood growing up on our family farm on the Prairies. From how you write of your father, I got a clear sense of who he was and how much you admire and respect him. Same with your mother — who I think is the true unsung hero in this story and from the glimpse of her you showed us, I have a feeling that there is a woman that has depth and a strength of character that would have been the basis for many many adventures in her (and your) life. Thank you for sharing.

Loved this engaging tale about hiking & trapping in the high country of the Selkirk Mountains with your Mom and Dad. Your anecdotes about; the bridge & road building, the trout fishing & huckleberry picking and the tea under the spruce boughs bring the story to life, (not to mention the photos!).

Looking forward to more of the same.

Your stories are so enjoyable and give me a real feeling of how it was and who your dad was. You give him a hero like man. I look forward to more stories. Thanks.
