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.
