I’ve been hiding in Prince George, Northern British Columbia’s capital, all winter. Needless to say, we get snow and lots of it. Having the dog, Angus, with me here, I’ve enjoyed going for long walks daily with the dog.

It’s one of those places that is easy to drive through and not pay any attention to since I’ve been through there so many times.
