This time, I'm sharing old black-and-white prints from my 1976 photo album.
They recorded my real trip to the remote Stikine River area in northwest British Columbia.

My new novel,
EAGLE IN FLIGHT:
The Jessie Morgan Series, Book 3, follows Jessie on the same trip. In the book, it's 1975.
This was the view from the unbelievably isolated cabin where I stayed.
Just the river, mountains, forest, wildlife, and silence. Firewood, fresh creek water hauled in buckets, and ... TONS OF HUGE, HUNGRY MOSQUITOES!

Like I wrote in the novel: Wrig's old wagon, stashed near the trail from the "main river" to the cabin, which I believe had the entire Clearwater valley to itself.
Wrig was a Stikine River homesteader from an earlier era.

This was the
one and only Bushwhacker, on whom the novel's husky, "Thunder," is based. (Or was his name spelled "Bushwacker?")
All I know is, "Bush" was one of the best dogs I've ever been around. Smart, sweet, loyal, protective, intuitive. He inspired me to get my own great big, beautiful dogs.

I hope you'll read EAGLE IN FLIGHT for a memorable mid-70s trip to northern B.C. and Southeast Alaska. The stories in this semi-autobiographical novel are among my own favorite travel tales.
