I remember this hwy 16 part as most challenging due to rain, that never stopped. We saw so many beautiful places along the way. The yellow raincoats helped to keep our spirits up :)
Youn really wanted this photo in front of helicopter ;D
Next stop - Prince Rupert to Port Hardy on a ferry.
Yes, this was one of the last days before the rain caught us on the road. We visited Barkerville - a historic town for Gold Rush days back in the past. The city was named after B.Barker who first struck gold in this location in mid XIX century. He found over 1000kg of gold and the news spread quickly and the town was build quickly as well. Today it’s a historic park and town, were you can try gold panning, walk around the streets, attend some shows and walking tours and even go on some trails around the city.
The most exciting part for us was to find a photography studio and by a miracle take an open spot to get an old school photo of us :) Remember the one we did in Korea? Us wearing hanbook :) Scroll down to see whom we were in a Cariboo Gold Rush days :)
Far far away in the middle of the center you can see moose :)
After this shot my camera died so don’t have much images from there, just few snaps on my phone :)
Second day on a motorcycle started early in the morning. We stopped at a local bakery to get breakfast and continued our trip towards Lac La Hache.
On the way there we stopped few times. It was really nice surprise at Clinton, where this little town has the biggest antique/thrift stores. My eyes got lost in there, and too bad we were on motorcycle otherwise I would have purchased few items :)
A ride along Green Lake reminded me a landscape of Finland. Lots of small lakes and birch trees :) This random pier was a nice discovery and a cool stop just to enjoy the sunny day :) Who ever built it - thank you :)
Things that I remember: Rain, fire, fire, sun, coffee in between, fire, hike and delicious food.
Manning Park it’s huuuge and birds by the lake are so used to humans they land on your palm with no fear! Remember San Diego Zoo had lots of birds too but they were not paying attention to people. Question here is - did I get the bird to land in my palm?? I think the answer is obvious ;) It was another successful camping trip. The only thing that I didn’t realize before going there that the actual season starts in June, otherwise lot’s of trails are closed and you have no access.
But! We did few smaller hikes around the lake, Youn took a little swim in a lake but for me it was too cold so I just recorded him ;P Scrolled down and enjoy beautiful views of Manning Park!
