Property Bought!
We did it! After a couple of hours in court, we are now the owners of 15 acres in the Slocan Valley – specifically, about a K or so south of Silverton. Whew! I don’t have the faintest idea how … Continue reading

Kootenay Hiking
Heaven to be back in the alpine. If I ever doubted that this was the place that calls to me, today’s hike erased it beyond a doubt. If you hike in the Kootenays, you have to want to be there. … Continue reading
