And before the Drumgate was dropped

thanks for the laugh. on the other hand, that is a tad close. Now if one had not made a will, some one could take you to that parking lot............

Some of the parking lots and places in the province, were there since well a long time ago and few people if any ever went to these areas. Now we're a few million more, people are going out and about and things need to change. I remember clearly as a kid and teenager places on the Hope Princeton Highway, you could just walk to the edge of a "cliff" look down and no one thought much of it. Of course most of us learnt from an early age, dont' stand too close to the edge it might give way. Then there was the lesson of don't go into the creek, if its going fast, you can die on the North Shore Mountains. Now of course that was back in the 1950s and people just don't seem to get it these days. I remember back in the day, Jack Wasserman made a comment in his column, Vancouver was the only major city in the world where you could die in the wilderness 30 minutes from the stock exchange. I knew that already in elementary school because two people our parents knew, did in fact do that. We need a health respect for our province and the land, not to mention ourselves.
Thanks again for the pictures.
