Thanks Shambles. I often do that myself.

Metchosin - Came across the title in a California reference. And this Mudcat is a small circle. I just got an email forwarded from a cohort who had someone ask him for the song North to Victoria, quoting your letter's notes about Douglas. One big circle.

I'll let you know if and when I find it.

I doubt it was a Klondike song as it would more likely have focused on Skaway, or Nome or something. Victroria, as you mention, was the center or the jumping off point for the Fraser River and Cariboo rushes.

I'd like to use it on a web-based Cariboo Road adventure game we are helping develop with the provincial government. The game will use some of the songs off our CD "Rough But Honest Miner" but this would be a good tie-in with Victoria. If I find it.
