This upcoming year is met with a lot of aniticipation and excitement; and for good reason, I can hardly believe it is our 40th year in operation. As I reflect back to the first year, I am overcome with both a sense of pride and astonishment. To say the least, our first venture into the Cariboos 40 years ago was an interesting journey. Despite having only enough credit to fly into the mountains, we were bound and determined to make our first promotional video. At 9000 feet, our group of 6 too refuge in a tent and igloo. However, we still managed to eat well - as head chef, my wife Bonnie bar-b-qued steaks to a perfection. With our gear on our backs and a few great photos, we spent the last 3 days walking out of the mountains. What a memorable journey!
Since the first trip, there have been many challenges, experiences and changes. If I would have to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. The friendships we've made along the way are priceless and the challenges and experiences invaluable in shaping us into what we are today.
Join me on a visual journey back through the years.
