Kenny's Weird Home in Lytton.wmv
Teresa the Traveler and her friend Faron drive to Lytton to check out Kenny's Weird Home. Takes about 1 hr 45 to get to Lytton. Turn off at first exit. You are coming from the top of the map. Go down over tracks and down main street. Turn right and follow signs for Lilliooet highway 12 that goes over the bridge on the river Thompson. When you get over the bridge you will see a United gas station. Take the road to the right. Continue on up this road. Ignore the sign that says Native Land, no trespassing....lol... Keep driving up this road. It gets a bit steep and windey. Part way up the hill you will come to some driveways. Take the one with the 60ft replica Winchester rifle over the gate. And you are there. The name of the guy is Kenny Glasgow. If you wander around he should come out to meet you. If not, ring the bell in the church tower or wander into his shop. His phone number is 250 455 2569 if you want to phone ahead. For more information visit

SP Trains #891 Almost Dark at Lytton 2017-10-09
We thought we might have one more opportunity to catch the unusual pair leading a westbound CP grain train, so we headed to Lytton. Looking down into the Thompson River canyon, it was not to be, with the light almost gone in the valley-bottom.
But one more train showed up right behind me on my aerie perch. A CP eastbound mixed stormed by across the crossing and into the night. With the camera struggling to use every available lumen, here's the catch.
I hope you'll go back to #879, , and watch the whole series from the day in the canyon. Thanks to Nick for having me along and creating the opportunity for some good rail videos. It was fun.
If you go to Google, select Maps and paste in 50.23886 -121.57603 you'll see the location of the cameras for this video.

N.B.The photographer and cameras did not encroach on the line of the right-of-way in taking this video. It is dangerous, foolhardy (and illegal) to enter on railway rights-of-way. Just sayin' ... You don't stand on a runway to watch airplanes.

Native Museum in Kamloops BC Canada
This next video is by an Australian Aboriginal man named Archie Roach. He is singing a song of a young girl who was taken away from her home and put into a residential school. The Australian natives experience is identical to the North American Indian experience. Their present day lives are also identical.
A visit to the Secwepemc Museum and Heritage Park.
This museum is on the site of a 7000 year old Secwepemc encampment. Over 70 depressions were found in the ground along the riverbank from old Secwepemc Kukwele homes. Those are the subterranean winter homes that they used to live in. There is a full size reconstructed kukwele home that you can walk in and see what it looks like.
These were subterreanean winter homes used by the Secwepemc people through the ages. The museum has reconstructed a village where you can walk through and enter life size replicas. You can see the different men's entrance from a ladder coming through the top.
You can learn about the different traditional plant uses. There is a trail you can walk down and see different plants, birds, wildlife. You might even spot some Simon Fraser University archaeology students are down doing an excavation on site. they come every summer to do an archaeology dig.
Inside the museum the ticket includes a video about the Secwepemc people and see different artifacts on display throughout the museum.
We met Treese a secwepemc lady who is so knowledgeable about her culture and very willing to share and teach what she knows.
Treese really gave us a laugh when she showed us a replica of the underground pit ovens which have a fire buried underneath layers of different roots, and bulbs, and vegetables. the food is covered with soil for several hours and left to cook. She told us she likes to call this Aboriginal Stir Fry - Unplugged. That was so funny. She was so full of knowledge. I am sure if we had the time to stay longer she could have taught us a lot more.
The village has a tule mat lodge, hunting lean-to, fish drying rack, fish trap, smoke house and traditional plant foods. The Secwepemc Ethnobotanical Gardens located in the Heritage Park are divided into five zones, each representing a different ecosystem found within the Secwepemc Territory.
The history of the Kamloops Indian Residential School is a legacy of European churches trying to eliminate the North American Indian traditions, language, and culture.
In the museum Treese pointed out old photographs of residential school students in the 1920-1970's dressed up in traditional scottish highlander outfits, or mexican dance outfits, or irish jig outfits. The priests taught the students all these OTHER cultural dances but denied them the right to their own Secwepemc dances or regalia. The students went on tour to different communities performing these foreign dances in foreign costumes and dancing to foreign music.
So the museum is a legacy to the survival of their own identities and culture even after all of the past events.

Lytton Park Central Toronto Luxury Neighbourhood Lawrence Pa
Lytton Park is a neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario. It is considered one of the most affluent neighbourhoods . It is located in the North Toronto municipality. The neighbourhood is centered around 'Lytton Park' (hence the name). Its boundaries include: Bathurst street to the west, Yonge Street to the east, Lawrence to the north and Briar Hill Rd. to the south.
History
Lytton Park originally started out as a rural suburb of Toronto. In 1886, the Metropolitan Street Railway (Toronto) decided to service this small area. Upon realizing that the land value in this region would go up when the railway was installed, the Railway company purchased a huge amount of farmland near their railway station on Glengrove avenue. Two years later, the residential `boom` of this neighbourhood started. In 1912, this region finally became recognized as a neighbourhood in the City of Toronto. From then on, this area morphed into what it is today, with its many schools, parks, and shops.
Architecture
Lytton Park predominantly features Georgian and Tudor Style homes. Many of these houses were built from 1890 to 1930. Houses in Lytton Park are situated on large lots with well kept gardens. There is an abundance of mature trees that line the streets providing a shady canopy in the summer and creating a picturesque snowy effect in the winter. Recently, many houses in Lytton Park have become subject to extensive renovations or have been totally rebuilt, transforming the neighborhood architecture.
