The idea of hostel type accommodation has been on the cards for some years in Lillooet. there is a perfect property to transform, but the owner has been given grief by local red tape and therefore has decided not to do this at this time. If this seems crazy to you, I suggest you drop the District of Lillooet a line and ask why there are no hostel accommodations. Here is another cheap option for groups. Jade Valley Pottery Bed and Breakfast. right behind the firehall. It is a actually a 2 bedroom apartment and owner does nto give you an significant gbreakfast. Has two bedrooms, cable TV, internet access and a double futon in the living room. And of course a full kitchen. He is looking for about $60 a night - shared four ways that is $15 a night. He also has no problem with more people coming and sleepy on the floor - he has heard the climbers have a good rep. His name is Erdman Tuemp and is the local ecentric potter/jade freak. 250-256-7455, though answering machine as he does not believe in them. email is jadevally@hotmail.com If he seems odd on the phone, just say that Bernard recommended you call him.

The publisher of the local paper in Lillooet has a copy and was offered $75 for it recently. We also have a very basic description of where the climbs are and how to find them available here in Lillooet - send me $5 and I will send you a copy in the mail (or find in Lillooet when you come by) Bernard 250-256-0137

Have you ever seen a Griz in the Lillooet region? This means from Lytton through to Goldbridge. There is a community based inventory project going on at the moment and we are trying to track population levels and habitat used so that hopefully a plan can by put into place to allow the bear to recover. We Need: Date Location Any identifing marks What was the bear doing at the time We really need as many reports from 2003 as possible, but also are very interested in past activity of the bears If you have information, please contact Sue Senger at senger@uniserve.com or 250-256-7616. All informaiton collected will remain confidential with respect to bear location to protect the bears. Bernard Schulmann Chair LGBIP
