Homesteading, British Columbia

The owners call this homestead ‘Valley View’; it is a 45-minute hike from our home. At the beginning of May my husband and I packed a picnic and headed up the road. What an amazing afternoon, we were on top of the world. It is place of beauty and solitude.

The settlers must have endured a hard life, co-existing with Mother Earth. Spending the day imagining how they lived and exploring the dwellings was a lot of fun. A day of good air and energy made for a great sleep that evening.

There are a lot of old homesteads throughout The Ranchland and Gold Rush areas of British Columbia. If you drive the secondary highways on the British Columbia Road map you will find many treasures. I always keep my eyes open any route I take. I love the old ruins and the pieces left behind from those before me.

Have a most wonderful day there will be more posts to come.
