    Thanks for sharing the excellent images in this newsletter. Very much enjoyed.

    1. Thank you Ernie!

  2. The very tragic photos of the fires, as well as the beauty of the 105 and Baskerville leave us thinking of our friends and neighbours in the Cariboo. Still our “home”

    1. We miss you but we know your spirit is here.

  3. Great photos, thankyou

    1. Thank you Diane!

  4. Wonderful newsletter photography – of 105 Ranch – fires out west – loved the pictures of Barkerville, a winter wonderland. I think Remco Wijnhorst should not have trouble finding people interested in his rental vacation property on Horsefly Lake – beautiful home, beautiful scenery. Thanks Chris. Janet Wright

  10. Thank you, Thank you. Having been in the area as the smoke was still in places these pictures sure hit home.
    Having lived in the Caribou was hard to really believe. These pictures give it the respect it deserves. Quiet, clear, soft, emotional and respectful.
    It will come back but the beauty will never not be there. These amazing picture show just that.
    Thankyou!

    1. Thank you for your thoughts Sterling. The world seems to be changing…fast.

  12. Thank you so much. Will your book be out at the Medieval Market? We entertained family from England days before the fires started and took them to all the places you have shown in the Newsletter. We wish to send a copy to them and have one for ourselves.

    1. Thank you Maggie. I am trying to get it done asap. Yes, hopefully in time for Medieval market. See you there.

  13. Chris: I am totally and completely excited about your new location for workshops. I can’t wait for the schedule to come out – I remember Barkerville from the drive for the canoe trips on the Bowron.
