When I was about 18 years old, I left the prairies to live in Vancouver. I met some people who applied for an OFY (Opportunities For Youth) grant from the Federal Gov’t. This was a way for the Liberal government (Trudeau) to inject money into the economy. The job description was to resurrect an old trappers cabin on Garibaldi mountain and clear trails to make an outdoor museum. I lived on that mountain for the summer and it was one of the most amazing times of my life. Your stories bring me back to those memories. Although they are not the same, the spirit of adventure, the smells of the forest, the experience of “necessity being the mother of invention” all bring me back to that precious time when anything was possible. Thank you for your stories.
I love reading about your life on the mountain!
