1967 Delta to Penticton Road Trip - Home Movie by Lita von Schulmann 

BC's popultion was much lower in 1967

My mother was a very good photographer and she took those skills to making movies

My mother was a good photographer. Until the 80s she only used a medium format camera. This skill was also evident in her filming,. She also used to edit the films to remove the worst parts. It was a new highway so it is not surprising it looks so good. The technology of how a road is built has not altered much over the last 56 years.

To bad there is a lot of graffiti on the boulders. One the same Highway 3 in Alberta there is Frank Slide in Crowsnest Pass. It is illegal to spraypaint the boulders there.

number 3 is basically still the best way to get to the Kootenays especially now that there is so much construction and slow redplates on 1. Going Coq to 1 to 95 is actually way slower than 3 now.

I would but she died 14 years ago. We only found this, and other movies, last year.

Glad you liked it

Thanks for sharing!

Yes, true

As a fellow member of the Balts, I am not surprised you were there. Can you name the people in the scenes at 3 Mile? This film also had about three minutes at the Hahn's in Oliver but those scenes were not ones that would interest the general public. Would you want to watch a film of me at age one? I spent a lot of time at the Heyking's house. As a kid I explored the beaches and cliffs. The dust from the clay cliffs always made my mother angry

@@BCHistory Hi ya B. I showed my Mom the film today, surprised her with it. Kind of an; out of left field moment. As to the von H's, she said; "Mensch sind wir da oft gewesen". I remember your parents very well (in those snippets of childhood memories) I see them now in my mind. That deck at the von H's are your parents, Harry and Ika von H and there's their son Freddy, and probably the other son. They had a daughter who I know has passed and the two sons one of which was Freddy, and I'm guessing the other young man might be the brother. Sure, I'm always game to see more of the old Balts videos (ahem, I mean films). I have a little bit of 8mm's of some balts camping in the Okanagan. You can DM me on IG or FB.

That trip was a constant for me growing up

I am glad you liked it

Thanks!

It is where Ladner Trunk Road (Highway #10) crosses over Highway #99. I know the spot very well

I thought it would confise people too much to use 499 and 401. It was only a short time that ir was used

Our loaded '64 Valiant barely made it! 😄

It is but is now called Manning Park Lodge

I am not sure about that, I will check some more. I base the year on how old I am in the film and how old my sister is.

Yup, thanks for catching that, it is 1967. I did not upload the whole film as parts of it were just family stuff. Based on some shots in an orchard, I believe this is the Dominion Day weekend in 1967.

Though if it is July 1st weekend in 1967, should there not be a lot centennial stuff around? The vegetation looks too advanced to be the May long weekend. I also know it is not near Labour Day because I have pictures and film of myself from that time and I do not like that in the extended scenes in this film.

​@@BCHistory I think it must be 1967. At 3:25 the dark car (in front of a boat) looks like a 1967 Plymouth Barracuda fastback, quite distinctive with its chrome gas cap above and behind the rear wheel. This body debuted in '67 - the '66 was shorter and taller. I'm guessing it would be unlikely to see a '67 model on the road before the fall of 1966.
