Rose had been quite content with her life as a city girl living in Edmonton, Alberta until the summer of 1948. Then it abruptly changed! Her brother Louis, a member of the RCAF stationed at Snag, Yukon, arrived home on leave and brought along his buddy, Gordon.

After meeting Gordon, her life changed forever. They found they greatly enjoyed being together and, after a whirlwind courtship, were married.

Shortly afterwards Gordon, employed by the Canadian Meteorological Service, was transferred to Watson Lake, Yukon. Rose agreed to come north for a two year period. She stayed a little longer!

They built their log home on the shore of Watson Lake and still live there. Over the years Rose, besides raising their family of six children, has assisted Gordon in a number of ventures -- Big Game Outfitting, a Fly-in-Fishing Camp, clearing land for their hay farm and others. Life was always a challenge and enjoyable.

Gordon also had a trapline in the mountains a hundred miles north of Watson Lake. Rose, realizing how much he enjoyed being on the trapline, promised that once the children had all left home, she would spend a month out there with him to find out why he enjoyed being there so much. The month turned to twelve winters on the trapline. She too, fell in love with life in the wilderness and kept a diary of her experiences.

This book is composed of the diary she kept during her first four years on the trapline.
