Timber Kings Huge Log Home Filmed At Hudson Bay Mountain Estates Smithers B. C. (Photo)


Above Photo: This is the log home that is being built by the folks on the 
hit TV show ,the Timber Kings.

My wife, dog and I went for a drive on Sunday, September 27, 2015 to Smithers, British Columbia so I could film some of the beautiful scenery around the area, and there is plenty of amazing places to visit.

One of the areas we explored was at the top of the Hudson Bay Mountain Ski hill. It was raining with a low cloud ceiling, so I was not able to take a lot of photos at the top, but we did find some cabins, and other buildings to film.

Anyway, we still poked around until we came to a massive log home that was being built. When finished, it will be a beautiful home. 

Today, the 28th of September my wife was checking to see if she could find any information on the log home. To her surprise, she found the log home, and it was being built by, and filmed for the TV show, “Timber Kings”.

There was still lots to do, but at least we can give you a peak at this home. It is totally amazing, just a massive home built out of logs.

Below I have provided some links to the area where you can buy lots, it has a map showing their location, and one of those is where the home sits.

The below link shows the parcels of land that are for sale on the mountain, and also gives the prices as well. Also this is where I took the photo from. http://www.hudsonbaymountainvillage.com/properties/estates/

(The link takes you to Facebook and a peak at the log home as well)

Also at the below link, the Home & Garden website providing information of the Timber Kings show, you can also watch shows online as well. So check it out.

Above Photo: I like these swampy areas where you have the living and 
dead trees poking up out of the water.



Above Photo: This is one a person had to see in person, the brightness of the 
yellow was something else.

The Red Wolf Inn


Every year we celebrate Canada’s Birthday on July 1, in Houston, British Columbia. This year (2015) it was Canada’s 148th Birthday and I went to the Jamie Baxter Park where I could watch, and film the celebrations. 

I wandered around chatting with folks who were attending, and taking pictures of each of the events. 

I came across some folks who who were having a lot of fun, and battling it out in full dress from the Medieval period. One fellow by the name of Troy Reitsma looked awesome and was having sword fights on the lawn with the kids and adults. It was so much fun to watch.

What I did not know was, there is a place between Houston and Smithers British Columbia called The Red Wolf Inn. The proprietors of the Inn are his Lordship Wlfryd of Leedes and her Ladyship Rhiannon of Shrewsbury.

If you want to travel back in time, into the medieval period where there are Kings and Princesses, then I highly recommend you paying a visit to the Red Wolf Inn. If you are wanting to spend some time at the Inn, you should make reservations for your stay. You can email Wlfryd and Rhiannon at reservations@redwolfinn.ca

The Red Wolf Inn has been in operation for sixteen years. It was established upon the Fields of Gold Educational Centre, a medieval village, representing time periods from the Celtic of 450CE to a 1550CE Venetian Palazzo.

This is a Medieval Inn - there is no electricity, toilets are pit toilets located up or down High Street from the Inn, heat is provided from the wood cook stove or the heater in the Saracen Room.
