It IS far. I'm from northern British Columbia, home to such glamour-spots as Dease Lake and Fort St. John. (We've got an abundance of forts up there). Prince George is on the same latitude as Edmonton, I think, and it's one of the largest cities in BC. And it was mentioned in a due South fic once, so...yay. I'm in Southern Ontario right now for grad school but getting into this fandom has made me pretty nostalgic for those untouched ice fields and snowy wildernesses. Except it's about -45C right now back home, so no thanks.
