Hunt Horrors On Honeymooni A lhandsamge Swiss moun- taineer and his Swedish bride have started the world's most horrific honeymoon: looking for mronsters ln the mounita ins of British Colum.îbia, Intrepid Rene Dahinden ai- ginally planned ta investigate the elusive Abominable Snow- men of the Himralayas. But when b.-e em;grated ta Canada witb bis yaunig wif e, Wanja, bie found the Fraser Valley regions of the west caast al-ive with legends of hairy giants just as strange. Only rec.ntly a hard-hipaded ]and surveyor spotted the mnon- sters wbile driving on the Trans- Canada bigh,,way. "They weme the diapple grey of a ho-.rse," h. says, "and about seven feet bigh, They waddled along the rond, then fled into the bush as Iapproach-ed.
