TEN YEARS GONE
en years ago, around this time of year, I was hiking through the rugged northern B.C. terrain, keeping one eye on a bear in the distance while rooting through dirt along forested hillsides trying to find valuable morel mushrooms. I was mid-trip from Ontario to Alaska and desperately needed the money to continue travelling, and I wondered at the time if this was the best job I could get on such short notice. Over three months, I travelled 23,000 km was about this experience.
