Cariboo escape


September was a time to enjoy our release from work. We headed north to visit friends who had often invited us to share their beautiful region of BC. This became a week of peace and delight in the beauty of fall. Our first stop was to see the ranch where Eva and Voytek Foik settled at 83 Mile. This is a high plateau of ranching country, and they have totally updated a log home with superior craftmanship and artistic skill.
We continued the next day to visit Charlie Hancock and Louie Bucher at Vanderhoof. We stayed the weekend and visited historic Ft St John while there. These long time friends epitomize the concept of hospitality. There was peace and delight in our visit.
We returned then to the Foiks at 83 Mile for 4 more days of relaxation.
