elttaolopasd Darcy was a man encountered by group-members at the campsite by the shores of Harrison Lake. Apparently employed over the summer by the Canadian government, he lived in a small camp consisting of an old school bus, a fire ring, and many blue tarps. An amiable chainsmoker, Darcy was part Indian (grew up in northern British Columbia near Fort Nelson, possibly on a First Nations reserve)who was probably in his mid 50's. He spoke of hunting Moose at a very young age and commented regarding his chosen lifestyle "this is living".
He would stop by the group camp while taking his small somewhat ironic choice for a dog (a pomeranian or similar) on walks and regale us with stories. A favorite being the time he allowed a pair of attractive young women to picnic along the shores of the lake. Concerned they would get stuck behind the afternoon convoy of logging vehicles traveling the narrow winding road, he thought it best to warn the pair of this fact. Searching around out by the lake, he happened upon them "sucking on each other's clams." Embarrased, he turned around and allowed them to re-clothe themselves while warning them to leave before the logging trucks came. Darcy's recitation of these events brought great laughter to the group. Among the other strange Darcy situations arose when the group was headed into town to purchase food. He specifically requested to be brought "pork-steaks and Creamo" the latter item, no one had ever heard of. The items were dutifully purchased and returned to camp in return for $10 worth of wood which was gladly accepted since the burn ban had lifted by then.
Darcy is remembered by the group with fondness for his humor, candor, and good will towards us.
