Being the history buffs that we are, we wanted to travel in search of the history of David Thompson(explorer, mapper, astronomer) and the routes he took to be the first white man to find the source of the Columbia. This has also been a dream of ours. We finally were sucessful in locating this incredible spot on the planet. Shown here is our camp on the Columbia River. We put our kayak in at this spot and paddled south, upstream to Columbia Lake and the headwaters. Along the way the wildlife was incredible and the joy we had tracing the route of Thompson overwhelmed us. As we turned to head back downstream, north, a white wolf came to the ridge above us to welcome us to it's domain.
