Vernon Grannies go the distance with travelogue features

Travelogues feature Alaska, Antartica and Nepal Jan. 17, 24 and 31

From opposite ends of our planet and to an exotic Nepal, the sights of some local travellers are being put on display.

Since 2011, Grannies 脿 Gogo has featured 57 photo-illustrated travelogues. 

This year, Grannies are again offering three new travelogues, Jan. 17, 24 and 31 at the Emerald Room in the Schubert Centre. Doors open at 1:30 p.m. with the presentations starting at 2 p.m. Admission is $10.

Kicking off the fundraiser is Lloyd Davies' unusual Alaskan adventure Friday, Jan. 17.

Lloyd, with enthusiasm, said that he and his wife, Janet, not interested in an Alaskan Cruise, 91裸聊视频渄esigned our own Slow Cruise in Alaska.91裸聊视频  

They used the Marine Highway ferry system from 91裸聊视频淧rince Rupert to Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Gustavus/Glacier Bay, Juneau and Sitka 91裸聊视频 and back.91裸聊视频  

With the help of their B&B hosts, they explored locations seldom visited by tourists. Some of their greatest memories are from their visit to the Anan Creek Bear Observatory, about 45 minutes by jet boat from Wrangell.  

91裸聊视频淭he creek was swollen with thousands of salmon that were striving to push their way through a narrow gap while trying to avoid the teeth and claws of both black and grizzly bears,91裸聊视频 said Lloyd.

In a polar opposite presentation, Evelyn LeRose presents on Friday, Jan. 24.           

91裸聊视频淛oin me in Antarctica and leave the rest of the world behind,91裸聊视频 she said of her experience with 91裸聊视频渢he coldest, windiest and driest continent in the world.91裸聊视频  

Antarctica, 99 per cent covered by the Antarctic Ice Sheet is, for the most, uninhabitable. LeRose's commentary illustrated with photos of icescapes, ice bergs, animals, birds and historical outposts will give you a feel for and taste of this part of our amazing planet.    

The final travelogue features Mary Stebbins' return journey to Nepal on Friday, Jan. 31.         

Discover, or for some rediscover, Nepal with Stebbins who 91裸聊视频31 years ago I took my young son, Gabriel, to Nepal where we made three treks into the Himalayas. That began my love affair with the land and the people.91裸聊视频  

In late 2024, her return journey began in the busy city of Kathmandu, a city of chaos, deep spirituality and ways old and new.  

Next, Stebbins will take you to the jungles of Chitwan National Park, home to wild elephants and the one horned rhinos of Asia. 

Then off you will go on a mountain trek following the Kalagandaki River, descending from the arid desert mountains of the lower Mustang region with traditional homes and ways of life to lush green fields and small villages, where, in shared narrow alleyways, 91裸聊视频渕otorcycles vie with sack-laden water buffalo.91裸聊视频  

Throughout the trek, Stebbins was surrounded by some of the highest mountains of the world.
