Thanks for sharing this.Even driving around hauling fuel you get to see a lot of a big slice of heaven.British Columbia is one of my family's favorite places."
Dave McGowan commented on Dave McGowan's blog post Muskwa-Kechica Artists
"Thank you, but I spend most of my time hauling fuel which interupts my writing ... and also pays for it. However, I did a lot of traveling in the past and managed to see some great country. Even the fuel business offers some of that since the Peace…"

Muskwa-Kechica Artists
Thought I'd share a picture of some folks attending one of the Muskwa-Kechica Artists camps. I haven't had the pleasure of a ride through this land other than looking at it through the window from the asphalt, but it is marvelous. Of course, I've seen many pictures, most of them grander than the background here. I'm no good at scetching or painting but I can hold scenes like this in my mind for a very long time.…See More

Larry Schnig, moose rider
I just read a story about one of our North Country's later day pioneers.
I've known a couple of men like Larry, but they usually don't live to be real elderly.
Perhaps others will be interested in brief coverage of his life. It's at the following website.

Dave, many thanks for stating it was Hugh reciting; 'The 26th of May' . I listen to 'Spirit of the West' most weeks along with 'Calling all Cowboys' and a couple of others. Hugh's got a very distinct voice, I don't know why I mixed the two up?
