THE TRISUNE, WILLIAMS LARS, B.6, Phureday, Septembar 28,1084 WITH IRENE I have meant to mention before this about a little trip we took one Sunday in August that wasn't to Chimney Lake. With visitors in the house, I man- aged to persuade Clive that they would perhaps like to see some other part of the Cariboo for a change. Although he cannot imagine every- one not being as entranced with Chimney Lake as he is, the editor nevertheless gave in without too much of a strug- gle — and we set off down the high- way one sunny Sunday morning. (Yés, there was the odd Sunday when it didn't rain all day). ‘The constructon of the new high- way is of course utterly fascinating — the tremendous gouges that are cut out of the cliff-side make the trip to the 150 Mile a changing pattern every week. It seems just the other day that we jostled and jogged down to Lac La Hache and talked of the distant future when the highway would be completed to Williams Lake. And now it is almost here. There. is no doubt that the new road is a wonderful thing and we will bless it you could forget the bumps, it was lovely. Now we will be down the highway, too fast to notice the scenery probably. But it won't matter much as the water no longer glimmers through the trees; the trees are gone and the raw brown earth stretches down to the water's edge. Gone too is one of the most picturesque touches ... the Russell fence which, seemed to blend with the countryside. Now we have a very practical wire fence; it will undoubt- edly last for years. We pulled off the road under the trees near the San Jose to eat our Junch. It was a lovely hour to remem- ber out of the summer. The sun shone, the stream gurgled by, and we ate Saskatoon berries from the bushes nearby. We drank coffee that tasted like ambrosia while the baby gooed over his bottle in his basket. To make the picture complete, two boys out of a Mark Twain book wan- dered by with fishing rods. One shyly slipped by, almost falling in the creek in his effort to be unseen. The other hailed us as he blithely passed. When I mentioned the hundreds of small fish farther up the stream, he paused momentarily to disdainfully “Suckers” before Gsappearing up the narrow path, But then, as it has almost every able to speed say a thousand times over. But I cannot help feeling nostalgia for the more Picturesque, more romantic old road. It wound around the lakeside with the trees growing close , .. and if “Old’at 40, 50,602 Men!

At the prospect of new pas- tures to explore, the editor visibly brightened. The road was surprising- ly good for a side road although there was not much in the way of scenery.

Farther on, we came to Clift Eagle's hunting camp, and then turn- ed in to Dan Ewart's lodge on Tim- othy Lake.
