| Fraser River Tour
The Conference Tour this year was a trip up the Fraser River from New Westminster to Fort Langley aboard the sternwheeler "Native". Because of the swift current at this time of year, the trip upstream took over four hours, resulting in a shorter than normal visit to historic Fort Langely. (Translation: some of us didn't make it beyond the pub). |
