Can you say Redneck?

hahaha I'm searching through the internet right now for a new blog header. I decided maybe I'll go to my roots and find some stuff on Fort St James to see if there are any pictures. HAH yeah right. It's almost impossible finding information on our town. There's not a TON obviously, but here's an entertaining link I found. It made me laugh at what a ghost town it seems to be, although I will say this... The pictures you are about to view in this link are all NEW pictures of our town because some of this shit I haven't even seen yet haha. Apparently with all of these forestry/mill workers out of jobs they have found ways to clean up the town a little and employ people by painting everything and what not.

This paragraph right here nearly killed me though:

"THE HOSPITAL • Stuart Lake Hospital is a 6 bed acute care and 6 bed long-term care facility. The hospital has a fully equipped emergency department as well as laboratory and x-ray facilities. Although there are no specialists on staff at the hospital, a full array of specialist services is available in Prince George, only 160 km away.

The physicians share on-call duties at the hospital."

HAHAHAHAHA What the shit. 12 beds?! ONLY TWELVE?! I thought there were more than that but apparently I was wrong. No wonder they have trouble accomodating people because the rooms are taken up by the homeless pretending they have health problems so that they have a place to sleep. haha bruuuuutal.

Yep. That's our welcome sign. And I love it.

There's our town. The whole "town" portion of it at least. haha tiny huh?

But I do miss this. The lake. I'm not sure who's in this picture I just found it on the internet because I don't have any pictures of it myself. But this is riding along side the East side of the lake coming up close to the T-caves.

This is the sort of stuff you find in the T-caves. Along with a crapload (literally) of bat shit.

And I actually remember learning how to do this while I was in elementary school. It was part of our daily lives there. We had the option of taking french, or carrier. I chose Carrier. They did cooler shit. Plus we'd get to eat bannock once a month. We always beaded every year, made necklaces and keychains and then soon enough moccasins etc (if you took it through highschool) but first, you had to learn how to prep the moose hide properly!

So there you go. A piece of myself... When I go up this fall I plan on taking a ton of pictures. I will get better pictures then. :)
