I am enjoying the history of this town and area very much. On the way back from Barkerville, we toured Wells, a booming town in the 1930’s as mining was going well and the 1929 depression was affecting so many people. Our friend Ron Mast was raised there. The blue building on the right is a triangle on a corner and the front is only about 5 feet wide.
We also saw a lake created by the beaver dams, when there was only a 3 foot creek on the other side of the road.
There are many painted fire hydrants in Quesnel. They are supposed to show the current or previous business or owner. Therefore you have an engineer at the train station and a dealer in front of the Billy Barker Hotel and Casino with cards in his hands. There are quite a few murals also.
