We had a good time in Grimshaw, I got a chance to visit with old friends and family. We took a drive down the Saftesbury Trail to the ferry crossing. The ferry was first built in 1952 - owned and operated privately by a family - The Blakeley’s - because they had farmland on both sides of the river and needed to move equipment back and forth. In 1977 the government took it over, upgrades we done and it is still in operation today. The ferry cuts the distance from Peace River to Tangent-Eaglesham by 100 km.
We left Grimshaw today after two weeks. I sure did enjoy my time with my new grand daughter. She had gained 10 ounces in the time we were there and I heard that she is now 8 pounds 4 ounces at 4 weeks of age, so she’s growing like a little weed!! (she was 6-4 when she was born)






On our way home we stopped at Wells Gray Park (September 30th) and visited Spahats Falls. It was raining and cold that day so we only visited the one falls, but it was worth the short walk up to see them.
