Final Post

I would like to thank my very dear friends Tim and John who drove me over 1,400 miles in British Columbia, fed me, kept me out of trouble, and were unbelievably generous. From dragging my stuff around and taking photos to just following my every whim I could think of. We chased down a awesome adventure everyday for a week straight, some times a couple adventures. Thank you !!!!!!!!

To my wife and kids who missed me but understood that this opportunity was a once in a life time chance for me and encouraged me to go, thank you I am truly not worthy.

Chillawack fish hatchery.

This woman's job is to lift the fish out of the water and dump the fish onto a table to be sorted.


Fish are sorted in this area.


Some are sorted by male and female and put into ponds so their  eggs can be  used for stocking the river.

Others  were harvested  to be sold by the first nation tribes.

Eggs from the fish are put in these trays until they use up their  yolk sacks.


Then they move to these tanks to get a little bigger.


Then live in these outdoor ponds until they are released back into the river.




Waterfalls and other cool stuff along the way

Drivers that are just learning have a large "L" on the car so everyone is aware and give them some room.


New drivers have a large "N" so everyone knows they are new to driving by themselves.
