| Fun in Fernie September 2017 | |
| Eric and I decided to spend a
      weekend together in Fernie, BC one smoky weekend.  Good thing we
      started with a hike because the whole country closed it's hiking trails at
      noon that day due to fire danger.  Seemed a bit excessive to us, but
      the Canadian government wasn't open to reason on the topic. | |

| Sights in downtown Fernie | Historic oil derrick on the edge of town | 
|  |  | 
| See, I told you it was a historic oil derrick | Stuffed wolf in the visitor center. He's a big boy. | 
|  |  | 
| I have to come back when there isn't smoke, the mountains were beautiful! | |
|  |  | 
| Lovely sights from the short hike we got to take before the trails closed. | |
|  | We also did some shopping in the downtown shops and had a lovely meal. We've decided we will be making this trip again next year, it's a nice place. |
