Here are more of the chainsaw creations I saw as I passed through Chetwynd on my way to Prince George:
And a closeup of the octopus arms:
The last one I have to post is in three parts, top to bottom. It is called “Peace, Love, Monkeys”
There was one other item in Chetwynd which caught my eye. This large painting was on the side of a recreation center.
It consists of a series of many smaller square panels. I was rather surprised when I saw the sign that appeared next to it:
I find it rather hard to believe but I know the Guinness people are sticklers for authentic claims so it must be true!
I had more driving to do so I got back on the road. Chetwynd is in the foothills east of the Canadian Rockies. It didn’t feel like I was going over major mountains, and I saw some mountains, but it didn’t seem like they were that big. In fact, for much of the drive from Hinton to Grande Prairie to here the tree-covered mountains I saw reminded me of parts of Pennsylvania, Virginia or North Carolina. It was such a beautiful morning east of the mountains I was quite surprised to find myself in a haze when I got to the west side.
