There is a large ranch that lies just off of Highway 24, near 100 Mile House in the interior of B.C. It's around 500 acres of land, including 70 acres of upland fields and 80 acres of meadow.

In order to make ends meet, Pete takes off-ranch jobs: firefighting, logging truck driver, excavator operator. During the summer months, Nichi works part-time.

In the pre-dawn serenity, I unzipped the tent flap and stepped out. With temperatures bracketing the freezing mark, this early morning chill was refreshing. The sky was still a deep, velvety indigo. The sun had just begun to paint a crimson trace on the distant horizon. A delicate mist hung over quietly moving, crystalline waters of the Yukon River. Gently bobbing in the current, a family of loons glided by, fishing in the water.
