Welcome to the world of blogging. I look forward to your expanded creative communication.
About
Twenty-two years ago my wife Rosemary and I moved into a remote part of the West Chilcotin called Precipice Valley, located at the western edge of the Chilcotin Ark, adjacent to Tweedsmuir Park. From our own property we horse logged centuries-old fir trees and milled them into posts and beams for our self-built home in the valley. We have been solar powered for all of these years, first in a small log cabin and eventually fully powering our 2200 square foot post and beam dwelling. As you can imagine, we have had a great variety of experiences here in the wilderness and this BLOG is our invitation to you to experience our lifestyle and our view of the world generated by two decades of wilderness living.
Professionally, I have worked as a wilderness tourism /conservation consultant both locally, regionally and provincially since the mid eighties. As an activist I have helped create several organizations to assist communities in dealing with environmental and land use planning issues. Negotiating at land use planning tables I have been part of the creation of several protected areas in the central interior.
My first love is wilderness and I hope this BLOG will connect those who feel the same way.

Hi Dave & Rosemary-finally caught up with you. What a creative way to let the world know what you think. Until seeing the lifestyle you have created I thought we were really unique, if i were a bit younger i would start again as the neighbors are closing in, however I enjoy an illusion of wilderness and still draw and paint what i would like to see. Keep up the good work - I have always enjoyed your take on things environmental, drop a line if you can. Regards and best of the season. Roy
