The McDonalds

"I loved spending time with Grandpa, whether we were checking fishnets, or he was building a boat or to attend to a moose that he had shot. Grandpa made sure that us kids were involved as much as possible so we could learn everything we could to survive in the bush."

Moose Lake, B.C. located on the Toad River.

"Over the years I spent a lot of my summers with any one or two of my uncles riding in the mountains, sometimes just a few days or sometimes for weeks. I rode a lot with Uncle George. We would take lots of short cuts in the mountains and went through passes we had no business even trying. The more trails we tried just to see what was in the next valley, the more we enjoyed the ride. These were definitely the good old days. Maybe I'll do that again one day with my grandchildren. I know it was a good experience for me."
