First Impressions of British Columbia, Canada

After leaving Jasper National Park we spent the night in Mount Robson Provincial Park. The following morning we left early because we wanted to see some wildlife. And we didn't get disappointed - within 20 mins we saw a total of four black bears grazing right next to the Yellowhead Highway 16.

A day later we arrived at the farm where we would work for two months. The farm is located in the Beaver Valley, Cariboo Region right beside a chain of lakes surrounded by forest as far as you can see. Our volunteer work included a huge organic garden (mainly Marlyn's work) and the newly built addition that was bigger than their original house (Maett's job). And our hosts were Jill & Sam with their little boys Tarn & Kell. Our first weekend we worked a lot but also got to canoe to their camping spot where they had a family camping. The camping spot was located three lakes down from our home, by a lake called Joan Lake - this family owns a large amount of property. The other lake is called Chambers Lake and this is where the grandparents lived in beautiful house. And this is how another two interesting months started.
