Traveling the Cariboo/Chilcotin...signs of yesteryear

I had worked up in the Cariboo as a much younger man. It is  aplace that always calls to me, sooo....we turn west onto highway 20 at Williams Lake and start down a one way road...to Bella Coola and return to Williams Lake.

Using a great guide book..Backs Roads of BC...it spells out all of the camping spots, the roads in, the number of camp spots availabale and the road conditions.

We stop at Pinto Lake...and have the MOST horrendous thunder, lightening and rain storm, right overhead, for two hours...from 10pm till after midnight. Unbelievable.

 

 

Moving across the Cariboo...all the old ranches still remain. New quarters but the original buildings remain. In this case, the pens for loading cattle.
