John_Scurlock Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 This is the A side of a greeting card sent by Phyl Munday, signed by her. It was given to me by Glenn Woodsworth: http://www.pbase.com/nolock/image/122477782 Here's the writing on the B side, which we haven't been able to fully decipher: http://www.pbase.com/nolock/image/122477784 We are thinking either Coast Mts or Columbia Mts, based only on the vague visible geology of the peaks. But basically it could be just about anywhere. No clue as to a date. Probably Don in the distance. thoughts or insight? post up here and/or send me an email, nolock at fidalgo dot net. If we can get a positive ID I'm going to pull these down. TIA..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Second side looks something like from D'Hiverville Meadows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Scurlock Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 That word is definitely the stumbling block. I searched on 'meadow' on bivouac and came up empty. I may try to show this to the M's step-granddaughter who lives in Blaine, she is very active with family memorabilia and probably knows the handwriting pretty well. They have a ton of handwritten stuff. Glenn said 'I've got a job for you...', little did I know. We were thinking you were our best bet...!!!

Chase Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 The handwriting looked like Riverville meadows. A google search suggested Niverville meadows and I found this gallery... http://www.harmonphotography.com/shows/show_still_water/show_Still_water_ss/still_water.html. Click on picture 12 to get almost the exact same image as your picture. From the caption it is Mt. Walker and Mt. Pilkington but I am not sure exactly where that is.

John_Scurlock Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Right on.! I'd say that nails it... unless I'm really missing something. we sat around for an hour yesterday pondering it. beer didn't seem to help. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 From the caption it is Mt. Walker and Mt. Pilkington but I am not sure exactly where that is. Alberta/BC border near the toe of the Freshfield Icefield. That's definitely it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Scurlock Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Bivouac has a pretty good summary. Freshfield Icefield, Eric Coulthard's labeled pano shows the snow peak at center as 'Mt Bulyea'. Thanks again.
