This entire area, from Cache Creek to Savona, was, once, the world's largest orchard.

The black line that can be seen in many places, along the hillsides, and cliffs, is the remains of boards that once formed a flume to carry water for irrigation.

From the flume to the river, the hillsides were covered with apple trees.

When the second World War started, so many men enlisted in the army, there was not enough workers left to maintain the orchards.

The day was sunny, but it was hard to get this picture along Highway 1.

I was trying to get the dust that was blowing across the road. There were times when I couldn't see the pavement in front of me.

Reminds me very much of Lethbridge, Alberta.

And people wonder why I would never live in Kamloops.

I did actually, for 2 weeks. Wind and dust. I had enough of that when, as a youngster, I lived on the prairies.

Now, Sorrento would be the place to live.

Warm lake in the summer, snow in the winter, green in the spring (actually, green all year) and red in the fall.

I almost got a job there, a few years ago, selling real estate, but the wife (W4) wouldn't move out of the big (shitty) city.

In the early `60's the Government had made plans to build a canal from Enderby, through Armstrong, to Vernon. This would connect the Shuswap River with the Okanagan lake.

They were also going to dredge the Shuswap River from Enderby to Mara Lake.

This would have put Enderby in the middle of a pleasure water way that would stretch from Kamloops to Penticton.

My father, at this time, owned an insurance agency. He insured a new company called Twin Anchors Marina.

Twin Anchors built a home, office, and assembly plant on the river, not far from our house.

Several years went buy and the government never dredged the river which meant during low water the houseboats could not get from Enderby to Grindrod, Mara Lake, or vice versa.

Eventually Twin Anchors moved to Sicamous.

Years before the Roger's Pass was even conceived of, my family and I made a trip over the Big Bend Highway, the road between Golden and Revelstoke. It was, basically, a logging road, and only open in the summer.

I don't recall which type of vehicle we had but it was pulling a small trailer that had once been a luggage cart at the airport in Edmonton.

After we had passed `Boat Encampment' which was the peak of the bend in the river and about half way through the Selkirk Mountains, a wheel came off the trailer.

We had to walk back and find the wheel and it took a lot of looking because we were looking on the wrong side of the road.

The strange thing was that the wheel came off the passenger side of the trailer and ended up on the driver's side of the road.

Now this was a good thing because the passenger side of the road was a steep cliff, several hundred feet down to the Columbia River. The driver's side of the road was a sheer wall gong up, hundreds of feet.

We put the wheel back on the hub. Father drove slow while I watched out the back window. When I saw the wheel moving over the hub, I would tell dad and he would swing the car the other way and the wheel would go back on. However this only worked a couple of times, until we were in a narrow corner where father couldn't turn the car and the wheel came off again.

The problem was that there was a hole in the end of the hub where a cotter pin should be.

The pin had worn away. A motorist who stopped to help us look for the wheel suggested using a nail, and he happened to have one.

Merrily, we proceeded on our way.

Looking out the back window I could see the wheel coming off and I told dad but he thought I was joking, ñThe nail will hold it, It can't get off now.î

The wheel came off.

The wheel had bent the nail and slid over top of it.

We put it all back together, straightened the nail, and kept our eye on it until we got to Revelstoke.

In Revelstoke we found a shop and had a nut welded onto the hub.

On our way to Sicamous Father would tease me, ñHave a look out and see if the wheel is still on.î I didn't look.

Several miles West of Revelstoke, just East of Griffin Lake, was a small lake on the driver's side of the car.

The wheel came off the trailer and disappeared into the lake.

We dragged the trailer into a turn out beside the lake and loaded all our stuff into the car.

For years, every time we went past the lake, the little trailer was still sitting there.

I didn't meet the man who made this but I remember seeing it when it was raw wood, unpainted, and sitting in its original location near `Boat Encampment', which was the half way point between Golden and Revelstoke, on the Big Bend Highway.

I would have been about 8, give or take a couple of years, at the time.

NEW SECTION OF HIGHWAY
(Golden, construction zone, new bridge over head)
(Golden, highway construction zone, new bridge over head.)

The first 20 kilometers, East of Golden, are narrow, steep, and winding. This stretch of highway has been a death trap for many a motorist.
Not un like other highways in B.C. that are built into solid rock and it is much too expensive, and/or impracticable to widen, and/or straighten.
However, after much pressure form people who don't know how to drive, the government, at great expense to us poor taxpayers are attempting to rebuild this section of road.
Personally, I believe it would be much cheaper to teach people how to drive.
But what do I know? I'm only a professional driver who has been driving these roads for over 40 years.
I first came through this stretch of road when it was being built. We spent many an hour, sitting in our car, while they blasted the rock to make the road that today is too dangerous.
How happy were the motorists in 1962 when PM (Prime Minister) the Right Honourable John Diefenbaker opened the Rogers' Pass, and they no longer had to traverse the Big Bend Hwy.
The Big Bend was not paved, was only open in the summer, and took 8 hours to traverse.

The next few pictures were taken in September of the same year from the new section of the road, a week after it was opened.

Notice the difference in the rock cuts.
