Overview

Getting three trucks and two horses stuck in the mud on a good road into BC's wild, remote interior was just the start of Bruce Watt's Chilcotin adventures--and it was his honeymoon, too. The wildlife, landscape and quirky, down-to-earth people captivated Bruce, and despite the hard work and challenging conditions, the Watts put down roots, raising a family, alongside herds of cattle and horses. A consummate storyteller, Bruce tells it like it was--and perhaps still is for many people calling this place home. These yarns capture the adventure and humour of running a ranch--from roping cougars to close calls on cliff edges and other typical accidents. His stories of chasing horses, navigating the backcountry and getting five kids off to school have a charm all their own.
