Sunday Drive

Vicki and Pete arrived yesterday, Gail and Rob are here, so we all go walking after dinner.

We drove up to Prince George Sunday and saw a young deer on the way. Also saw a dead moose on the roadside, hate to think of the vehicle that struck that. We had a nice visit with Ron’s niece Birgit, and then headed back to Quesnel.

We passed the road out to Barkerville. It is North America’s largest Heritage Site. Billy Barker, a fortune seeker, found gold in Williams Creek in 1862 and the gold rush was on. Over 100,000 people journeyed north up the Cariboo Wagon Road. It was the largest city west of Chicago and north of San Francisco. You feel like you’re in a time warp as you walk through a Victorion town of 125 heritage buildings with everyone on period costumes. Here's Billy outside the Info Center.
