    What else ...

    I have recently bought a commerical / residential property and have been fixing cleaning it up all summer. There is so much outdoor activities to do here. I have two quads and one snowmobile and one dirtbike conversion sled. There are trails right from my yard for hiking biking sleding atv cross country skiing and more. The nimpo Lake has amazing fishing all year round (ice fishing now). Tweedsmuir park is close. with turner lakes and waterfalls it is so beautiful. There is a corner store post office and restuarant across the street. That is the extend of any public places to go unless you drive 2 hours to Bella Coola.
    I moved from Whistler and lived in a community home for 20 years so I enjoy living with groups or with another person singles couples and families are welcome. I enjoy planning events and doing things together. We live in the country and live a healthy lifestyle there is no need to wear masks on the property or in the home.
