The year before last, I went to Bella Coola for the first time.
This was my wacky transit experience:
I cabbed two hours early to the airport where I was finally let onto a wee little plane that was forced to land at the Anaheim Lake airport because it was simply too snowy to land at the intended destination, Hagensborg. From there I would have had to ride a little school bus for more than 3 hours down an icy, windy road except that one of the passengers on the plane was a pilot who offered me and two others a ride in a helicopter. This mode of transport would take only 1.5 hours to get the Hagensborg but then it would involve a different kind of danger. I took the ride but fretted all the way to Bella Coola about the cargo that I couldn't bring with me on the helicopter. Finally at Hagensborg, a very nice woman from the hotel came to pick me up, but the cargo was on the bus that would arive two hours later - would they go back and retrieve it for me? What was I to do?!

FACTS MISSING...
1. apparently the helicopter pilot was cute
2. i think you ate a pork cutlet for dinner that night when we FINALLY hooked up for dinner...
PS your drawings amaze me....
Yes Lisa, you're right, the helicopter pilot was cute, but I had Indian Taco the first night. And then probably pork cutlet everyday after.
And I think I do sleep like that!
Thank you for your kind comments everyone!
