Helping thy neighbour

It never fails to be an adventure when I go to visit or help snowmobile supplies into Greggo Mutch’s trapline cabin
which is situated near the mouth of Chalco Creek. This major watershed empties into the Holmes River. With the
Holmes River Valley Forest Service Road not being plowed due to no recent logging activity Greggo and his partner
Alona have to walk the 15 km out to the highway. One such trip at the end of January just after 30 inches of snow
had fallen up the Holmes River was pretty interesting to say the least. With my snowmobile skimmer loaded with
supplies for them as well as for their chickens, numerous cats and a dog and with Tyler Hagen helping with his
machine we snowmobiled through this dry powdery snow. With basically zero snow base our sleds sank to the
bottom. With any kind of speed a solid curtain of snow greeted our faces along the way. Actually, Tyler and I enjoyed
the experience as well being able to help them get back home of which they were so thankful. /LEON LORENZ
