Good times, looks like a lota fun.

We keep running around the same parts of BC, it's suprising we haven't had a chance for the Delica wave. We missed you by a few days in Bella Coola last year!

Cheers,
Kev

Barkerville & Wells is a trip I would like to take one of these days. I hear there are some really nice back roads up that way...

Me too. In fact I got a call from a friend a couple of weeks ago. He was setting off to take his kids on the Bowron Lakes circut. I met this friend 30 years ago this summer when he and I were on the Parks Youth Crew at Bowron. We worked on the trails on the canoe route, but also spent lots of time in and around Barkerville and Wells - just loved it. 30 years, crazy! Sad the Youth Crew program got the axe. To bad so many decision makers can't see that there are somethings more valuable than money :? Love your pictures! Thanks :M :-D

Happy Day!

One trip I'd like to do some day is driving up to my Mom's place, between Quesnel and Nazko, entirely on back roads.

From the Backroad Mapbooks it would appear to require two small (about 10 km each) pieces of provincial highway. One is from the Harrison West FSR in to Pemberton to pick up the road to Seton Portage. The other is a small piece of Highway 20 near Alexis Creek, unless I want to go via Gang Ranch.
