"We were very happy as children.... For it was a great change for us to run wild after a more or less restricted nursery life in Scotland...."Riding parties" were the favourite amusement all the year round."
"The McKenzies had good horses and Mrs. McKenzie was a fine rider. She usually accompanied her husband down to the Fort when he went by trail. Sometimes they made the journey by boat. Then if the tide was running high at the Gorge, they must wait till the water was quiet unless there was another boat waiting below or above the falls."
"There was only a bridge of three logs across the Gorge then, but the children ran over it as sure-footed as squirrels"...(from: Pioneer Women of Vancouver Island)
