Having returned to Watson Lake in the Yukon after five years in Montreal, she found her art career at a standstill and the party life of a small town much too alluring. Then one day after a particularly wild night, she bumped into Lynch Callison, the father of an old boyfriend. Lynch invited her to his lodge at the LV ranch to \"get her head straight.\" The next morning she found herself bumping along Highway 37 in an old pickup, heading south to Iskut. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Tor soon fell in love with the bush and vowed to create a life in the wilds of Northern BC.

But Tor was determined to learn about life in the bush, and everyone she met was happy to guide her-- and let her make some mistakes along the way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The following year she staked some land and built a log cabin.
