Back in the Saddle


Just back from the Queen Charlotte's, a place I have always dreamed of visiting.

A beautiful archipelago that consists of more than 460 islands – often referred to as the Galapagos of North America – home of the Haida Nation.

Here are a few of the highlights:

Distance Traveled: 2278 KM

Places visited: Queen Charlotte - Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve – Prince Rupert – Prince George

Modes of Transportation: Commercial airline – float plane – ferry – train – zodiac – car

Traveling companions: Juice, Susie and Midgie

Wildlife spotted: Raven – eagle – deer – bear – kingfisher – moose – humpback- seal - dolphin

Bonding with the Chica's: Finding a romance novel on the train and reading steamy passages out loud

Culinary highlight: A picnic on a remote beach – doesn’t everything taste better when you’re in the wild?

More stories to follow.....
