reading the chapter on how to use
the book, which should be done
before going out into the field, the
book becomes very clear.

Exploring was completed in a
record two months after the
Freemans were inspired to the task
by the. Federation of Mountain
Clubs’ of B.C., the book’s
publishers.

It is designed more for tourists
and families, not people familiar
with the area, said Freeman.

“lt was going to be a reprint of ,

the old book with a few additions,
but then /it mushroomed,” said
Roger Freeman.

“We had lots of help and sup-
port and we just ground it out in
_our spare time."’

: ‘expensive process of typesetting.
While the book deals exclusively
with Lynn Canyon and the recently

+ opened Lynn Headwaters Park,

Freeman expects the lower
Seymour area to become a mullti-
use recreation area in the near
future.

When that happens, Freeman
says he will be out with another
book to cover the whole area.

Exploring is availabie at various
North Shore bookstores at a price
of $6.95 and through Lynn Can-
yon and Lynn Headwaters Parks,
as well as through the federation
for. $6.
