I hope someone here can point me in the right direction on this one.

Back in the late 70s when I was about 16 I was camping with my father
somewhere in 'South Central' BC, somewhere near the US boarder as closely as
I can recall.  Anyway I went for a short hike and in a small bush or tree
near a field I vividly recall finding a landsnail that appeared to me to be
almost tropical in appearance; it was bright yellow with a dark stripe that
followed the whirl.  It had a compressed spiral rather like a European
Helix, but was smaller likely somewhere between 1-2 cm.  I didn't collect
the animal or the shell, but I just got to thinking about it and wondered
here if anyone might have some idea of what I might have found way back then.

Thanks for your help!

Doug
