Spending many seasons of his life Deer and Elk hunting, fishing and most of all trail riding with friends and family, on his leopard Appaloosa, Danny. Many of the trails to the old goldmine cabin on Sumas Mountain were made or maintained by Doug and his friends for years. Whenever you find your way along those trails either on foot or hoof, you will see “Doug’s place”, “Sarah’s Ridge” and “Sam’s Trail”.
