Well, we just got back from holidays and as enjoyable as they were, the fire situation in BC has gone from bad to worse!! We got to my niece's in Canmore (just south of Bannff) only to find that there was a fire one ridge over. We had a great visit with them. In fact an absolutely fabulous time. They are close to our age and our boys had a blast together. Hiked on Sunday and almost choked on the smoke! We left yesterday to come home, and stayed in the town we stayed in on the way up to the mountains, only to find that on Friday night there had been a lightening strike that had ignited the forest to the south. I've lived in BC for 45 years and don't ever remember a year like this. They are shutting everything. BC is burning!! Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers! Thank goodness we live on an island!! Glad to be home.

Welcome home! Sounds like you had a great time in spite of the terrible situation going on there. Glad you showed those young 'ens a thing or two about hiking!
Keeping the community of BC in my thoughts and prayers and of course for your son Matt for his continued safety.
