The first time I met James Ross I could tell he had been a few places and met a few people. That’s because he has a degree in journalism and at one time or another has worked as a newspaper reporter, cowboy, horse wrangler, mule packer, mountain guide, museum curator, dogsledder, canoe guide, movie stuntman, animal trainer, photo double, writer and author of two books: Cottage Daze and Still in a Daze at the Cottage, celebrating the Canadian Cottage Experience. Check out his personal website at cottagedaze.ca We are delighted to have him sharing some of his experiences with us here at Roadstories.ca
