Our first weekend sightseeing adventure while staying just outside of Prince George was The Ancient Forest about 1 hr. north. While driving to the Forest on Hwy. 97 north we were privileged to see 3 bears on the side of the road. One mama bear and her cub were feeding just out of the thicket on the young grass off the side of the road. When we backed up to get a better view and a picture she growled something at the cub and the cub quickly disappeared in the woods. So cute!
At the ancient forest we saw jagundous cedar trees with huge root systems. There was a very defined wooden path through this rain forest in the middle of an arid dry landscape. Talk is that 20 years ago they wanted to log this area and fortunately they decided to "save" this area as a provincial park. We walked the entire trail of approximately 1.5 miles. It was loaded with fiddlehead ferns.
Snow capped mountains in the distance.
Waterfall about midway on the trail.
When these trees fall,
they splinter and massive
roots come up.
This is our group - left to right:

This month we are working at Ness Lake Bible Camp just outside of Prince George, BC. This camp IS located on waterfront property which constitutes many water activities for the campers. Camp does not begin in the summer until July but until then the weekends entertain many groups and corporations for leadership training and seminars.
So far the men have built privacy stalls in the men's bathrooms on the west side of campus, added shelving in the gas storage buildings for the boats, moved the archery range and the gun range, built benches in the archery range, and added a disposal unit in the gun range for used casings.

stalls in the men's bathrooms.
2 new shelving units in the boat storage buildings.
Benches for the gun range.
The ladies did some cooking in the dining hall for 2 days and have been making room darkening drapes for cabins and lodges. So far we have replaced 37 windows. We have the privilege of sewing in the Welcome Center which is a log cabin. Gorgeous setting and the accommodations are great.
This is my sewing partner,
Ginny Sutherland.
And this is me!
Home sweet home! Our rig on left,

Okay, so all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy! Here is Wayne & Bill trying out the zipline! The counselors needed practice rigging them up and going over their speels that they recite to every participant. So, Wayne & Bill said they would help out!
"WAHOO!"
Then Wayne had to try out the jungle
swing that goes out over the lake!
All in a day's work! RV crazy or what?
Someone's gotta do it!
Next week is our last week here at Ness Lake. Our last RV couple that will be caravanning with us to Alaska is suppose to arrive and on Friday we will pull out, 3 RVs pulling 3 cars. It will be exciting.
