Totem Poles

 

We are in northwest British Columbia making our way north on the Stewart Cassiar Highway, which is one of the lessor traveled routes to Alaska - our kind of road, plenty to see and do - but without the traffic. We've had one rainy day and it's cooler than we'd like, but the sights and people have been great. We stopped at a farmers market (bought some meat and had lunch), then a reconstructed Gitxsan indian village, but spent most of the day hunting down old totem poles. After a long day we managed to find another great lakeside campsite - all is well.

 

Also happened upon this old Anglican Church and it's even older (1880) wooden bell tower.

 

Our campsite.

So good to see you were able to post again. It is amazing the artist ability of the totem pole artists. I read the sign Totem Poles and it was signed 1947. Wonder how they cut and put up the wooden bell tower back then. Just amazes me. Thank you for all the pictures.
