With the sunny days in the forecast, this may be your last chance to go camping! What a grand time the Kent family had back in the day; camping near Eileen or down on the Moyie River near the old Red Bridge. A.J. and Nellie Kent would take their children: Leslie, Zoe, Fay, Ted, and Howard Sr. (Howard’s dad) on many wild camping adventures around Boundary County.

Here are Nellie, Zoe, and Fay Kent, in 1917, on one of the many camping trips.
