Crossing Canada With The Maplemusketeer Volume One - An Overview (June 2014) | Page 88

I arrive in Revelstoke and stay at the invitation of one of my college classmates and her partner. The next couple days see us travel around in a classic red pick-up truck with a giant dreamcatcher hanging from the rear view mirror. I meet local residents, go up dirt roads, and end up at a pallet fire down by the river beneath the face of the local ski hill on Mount MacKenzie. The gravel road widens next to a gated-off piece of growing-in cleared land. A few feet up the road from where we park is a little trail that leads into the woods. We go down it as the dog, Arlo, zips in and out of the undergrowth. The sound of the river below is slowly overtaken by the crashing noise of a closer waterfall. This is how discoveries are made.
