Cariboo Chatter, cont’d
WHAT’S THIS?? Readers do you know what this is?
mark your calendars for the August gymkhanas and, if there’s still room, the third Annual Cariboo Plateau Competitive Trail Ride (CTR) Aug. 13 and 14. The entry deadline is July 26 but last year they were full by mid-June. This year the ride is shaping up to be one of the best yet, especially at the new location - the Hills Health Ranch/Spa just north of 100 Mile House at 108 Mile Ranch. Three levels of distances will be offered - approximately 15 miles, 25 miles and 35 miles. For more information, and/or to download an entry form, visit www.bcctra.ca or e-mail the ride manager Joanne Macaluso at: joanne_macaluso@bcit.ca or phone her at: 250-456-7320.
Your guess and the correct answer will be printed in the next issue.
What’s your guess? This month I figure I need to give you all a break so here’s an easy one. It’s made of wood, is about 6.75 inches long, 3 inches wide and 7 inches tall including the handle.

Last Month’s What’s This?
In the May issue there was a photo of a canvas-covered object - I thought we’d get some guesses but I didn’t think we’d get any right answers … well Debbie Dean in Hixon proved me wrong by sending in the correct answer. It’s an ice cream cooler from the days of the horse-drawn milk wagons. The lady that gave it to me remembers the ice cream coming to their Sunday school picnics in this cooler, in the back of a horse-drawn buggy. The milkman would put the ice cream in the cooler with dry ice to keep it frozen. Correct answers: Debbie Dean, Hixon, BC
