Prince George, BC

A division of West Fraser Mills. West Fraser was founded in 1955 when three brothers – Sam, Bill and Pete Ketcham - pooled their resources to buy a small planing mill in Quesnel, B.C. From that early entrepreneurial spark, West Fraser has grown to be the largest lumber producer in North America. - See more at: www.westfraser.com/company#sthash.pEMBzvgA.dpuf

Jumped in the Jeep at 8:30 a.m. Drove north from Quesnel to Prince George. 135 km to the downtown area where my wife traded here sewing machine in for a new Janomi. Visited Home Depot and Jysk. Had lunch at the Edo Japanese take out in the Pine Centre Mall food court. Drove south in a snowstorm...... stopped in Hixon for supper at a friend's place. From there in the snow.....and on ice back to Quesnel. Arrived safely and tired.
