						<p><strong>L/JDP 100</strong> – We’re now experiencing the 100<sup>th</sup> anniversary of ȽÁU,WELṈEW̱/John Dean Provincial Park. The scope of this anniversary ranges between 2018 and 2021.</p>
<p>100 Years ago today, John Dean created a sign for those visiting the summit… <em>Mt. Rainier &gt;&gt;&gt; 150 miles away, 14,408 Ft. High</em></p>
<p>A century later, the trail signs throughout the park shine…  This month, all 70 trail signs are being sanded and painted with a new BC Parks brown stain.</p>
<p>FROM JOHN DEAN’S CABIN DIARY</p>
<p>25 Aug 1920 – Quite cool – Made signboard, lettered + painted letters, <em>Mt. Rainier &gt;&gt;&gt; 150 miles away, 14,408 Ft. High</em>; finished paint 8:45, retired at 9pm tired. (6:45am 55, 12pm 54, 9pm 58)</p>
<p>26 Aug 1920– Bed fall going out – Painting cellar door + setting post + signboard on summit. Left for town at 7pm, rain coming. (7am 52, 2pm 62)</p>
