nice work on this post... looks like you had a blast

Thanks, we really did. The whole trip was excellent. If you read the last post, it was about us finding an opal bed and the hike to get there.

Therapy Thursday, battling squirrels, digging for opals, watching chicken races — you sure know how to stay busy!

I wish there was Therapy Thursday still. Nobody sends anything in. 😪

I've never heard of chicken racing before. The ducks were cute, though.

Yeah, they were a really fun surprise.

That race announcer has a good job.

I'll say. Never has to shower, gets to be drunk at work, plus gets to practice his standup.

Haha nice vacation impressions :-) I like the crazy guy with the long grey hairs 👍😀

... and chicken 🐔 racing Is also very new to me ! Looks very funny 😆 Thanks for sharing with the steemit community 😀

Thank you. He was a hoot for sure. You should get some chicken racing going in your area. Another fun thing is to have a board divided into a bunch of squares. People choose a square and whichever square the chicken poops on first, WINS!!!

Haha nice :-) I will definitely check out where in my location some crazy 🐔 stuff is going on 😀

hello how funny it is to think that somewhere there is a chicken race and you can even bet on them this. This soooo funny i love it!!!Beautiful photos:)

Thank you. I am glad you liked it. The best part was that the bets were free, and you could win coupons for money off dinner or the gift shop.

That is so cool it makes it even better:D

Chicken racing? That's just hilarious!! You guys sure had mad fun at Fort St. James, it is worth a second visit!

Yes, it was really fun. Except for the fire. And the treatment of the indigenous people, historically.

Yeah, I guess learning about that was kind of the sad part...

howdy from Texas granolalight! hahaha! what great fun and educational too, this was a masterful post, great job! I wonder, this place must be a seasonal thing right because most of the winter those racing things would be covered in snow. ok dumb question.

No such thing as a dumb question. At least that's what they tell me. It closes down, I think in September, and opens up again in May, I believe. It definitely gets covered in snow, but also there is no tourism when the kids are in school. I could also imagine the amount of wood it would take to keep all those fireplaces going at -40.

I'm really glad you liked it and thank you so much.

haha! -40 yes what fun. you guys live in Canada? I don't know how ya'll handle the cold. I salute you though!

We sure do. We're up the Alaska highway right now but we are planning on going further south when we start our forever homestead. No need to salute us, you get used to it. We just want to get to a place with a better growing season and less depression in the winter.

oh howdy sir granolalight! wow so you guys are going to start a homestead! wow are YOU in the right place, as far as steemit.
where is that going to be? There is a lady on here who has a homestead but they are also getting ready to set up and build a new one.

and you will have endless posting material! good for you guys.
