Neighbor's to the North

Growing up in Washington State, I knew where Ferndale was, but Ferndale / Tabor?
I assumed it must be in Canada. Sure enough, I was right.
However, I didn't know it was about 18 kilometers east of Prince George.

Where's Prince George?

About 9 hours north of Vancouver, BC.

The furthest I've ever driven was Whistler, BC.
That's only about 60 minutes north of Vancouver.

I like both of these patches.
They're crisp, sharp and clean.
They don't tell me they're in British Columbia, Canada, but that's okay.
That's what Google is for.

The fire engine on the patch to the left makes me think United Kingdom for some reason.
I see it and think, "Old fire engine. Must be British. Isn't that what British fire trucks look like?"

Speaking of Google ... Ferndale / Tabor must be a beautiful place. (Google Maps).
It looks like it's in the Canadian Cascade range, and there is a lake nearby.
Maybe some day I'll visit that way. Live? Nope. I'm a city boy through and through.
