Golfed today in Ft. St. John. A links course, so they say. The term I think refers to a golf course laid out with minimal disturbance to the land. Just planted and mowed and some traps thrown in. Fort St John is nothing like it was 46 years ago. Then it was a tumble down store and a couple of decrepit gas stations. Now it's two or three miles of strip malls in full bloom. Much like Wasilla, both then and now.
The countryside is changed too. It was forest, now it's hay and grain fields.
Valley View is in the prairie. Real breadbasket country with lots of wheat, barley and rapeseed. But woodlots too, as you would expect of a country that was once forested.

Dad- I'm loving the blog. I check every day. It's fun to read your reflections and see you smiling all over the western provinces.
ReplyDeleteMaya is doing great- standing a little on her own now, and loving to chase and be chased. All of our knees are bruised from crawling.
Love you, h.
