ON THURSDAY July 30 I

had the opportunity to join a
group from the Happy Gang
Centre on a tour of the Nass-
Skeena Loop.

The group of 45 people left
the Happy Gang Centre at
8:30 am. on a Farwest bus
and started on a beautiful day-
outing.

From Terrace we travelled
up the Kalum Lake Rd past
Lost Lake.

Walter McConnell told of
his family coming out to the

lake by horse and wagon to

pick berries:

Then we drove through the
quict little village of
Rosswood.

As we drove further along,
we all sat back and relaxed,
enjoying _— the
scenery such as the freshly
made beaver houses at Sand
Lake.

Mes. Seaton, who was sit-
fing beside me, spotted some
ducks feeding in a water pond.

Even the water was a
deep mogs green in colour
and because of the rain we

had everything looked very
healthy.

As we all were chatting and :

’ looking out from the windows,

we viewed the beautiful,

colourful: meadows of wild-

- flowers -

buttercups, wild

. roses, fireweed, goat's beard,

Indian paintbrushes, Iluysin,

_ honeysuckle, yarrow, pearly
_ everlasting.

They all made a wonderful

Thanks to Mrs. Watson for

Then we drove along Lava
Lake and saw the beautiful
mountain sides looking a deep,
rich green in colour.

cause of the rain we had

The gravel road was even
dust free.

Then we stopped at the Lava
Lake picnic site for our mom-
ing coffee break.

Gert and others had
prepared juice and some deli-
cious cookies for everyone.

After exercising our legs a
bit and filled up one juice and
cookies, we moved on our

journey.

Driving on, we had a view of
the beautiful Vetter Falis.

Then our tour guide pointed
out the 'H’-tree about 15 feet
up - two large cottonwood
trees joined to make a perfect
‘HI’.

We drove on through the
lava beds and stopped for a
while to walk around.

Then we drove on to Canyon
City,

We all, got off the bus and
the ‘spindly -
pedestrian suspension bridge -
I must say it was quite an ex-
perience.

In Canyon City we were
cheerfully greeted by our tour
guide Alice Gilis.

‘We spent a most interesting

ting hungry so we drove on to
the Nass Camp where lunch
had been arranged at the Til-
licum Lodge.

We had a most delicious
lunch ending with a chocolate

- eclair and were entertained by

Bill Young with some good
old tunes on the keyboard,

Everyone had a nice visit
with Bill,

Then we ail loaded on ihe
bus to continue on our journey
to Kitwanga and then staried
on our way back home.

On our way home, we en-

~ joyed more fantastic scenery

as we drove by Kleanza Park.

As I looked up the mountain
I realized why God had creat-
ed the beautiful Skeena Val-
ley.

‘After he had taken a final
look around at his wonderful
creation, he marked a big OK
on the OK mountain side.

Special thanks to Bev Green-

ing, our tour guide on the trip,
