Greenwood B. C.


















The fruit on the trees behind a Mariposa, B. C. fruit stand.

Greenwood, B.C. is a semi-deserted copper mining town that had big money between 1887 and 1918.

There are a few new folks moving back in for the winter sports (6' of snow!) and the mild but clear mountain weather.

Many neat old buildings with lots of potential. However, this town is a long way from big population centers. Had a great breakfast in a Tea Shop/ bakery with lots of gifty items run (single-handedly) by a great older woman who was cook-baker-cashier and bottle washer. Great town I want to come back to and spend a couple of days exploring!
