2012, Heading out of the Ranch
I was out taking pictures on foot, experimenting with my camera when Gordy came to pick me up. This is a few images merged together causing some overlap and motion--which fits the feeling of excitement and joy of those trips.

Gordy and Jeep evacuating four of us out of elk camp in Skookumchuck via Whiskey Dick Canyon. The snow drifts were deep. Many time Gordy had to put it in ramming speed forward to get through the drifts. We almost didn't make it out to Vantage Highway. Broke first gear. Lucky that was all.
