PRINCE GEORGE TO DAWSON CREEK

On Goats, Fishing, Mile Zero & Biking

We took our time driving from Prince George with a first stop at a cool historic site called the Huble Homestead Historic Site. Quite a large site and gives you a real feel for what it must have been like living out there 100 years ago. Got a guided tour and even got to pet some baby goats! Cool!

After that we drove on along some beautiful country and stopped at a VERY cool forest recreation site at Kennedy Lake. Only 2 spots and we had both! True wilderness camping – but there was a ton of wood around so we spent the afternoon gathering and cutting it for a really nice campfire – first of the trip! So nice to hear the sound of the wind in the trees, a few loons, some unidentified birds and that’s it! Wonderful!

Back on the road again, driving the John Hart Highway (#97) to Dawson Creek. We saw a cute black bear on the side of the road seemingly quite relaxed. We stopped for a quick look at Bijoux Falls, which is right on the road and Pine Pass to take in some views and snap some photos. The scenery is stunning!!

We drove on the next morning wanting to stop in Chetwynd to see the chainsaw sculptures we’d heard about. They’re pretty cool but once you’ve seen a couple dozen chainsaw sculptures … it starts to wear pretty thin so we headed on to Dawson Creek.

It’s now on to Dawson Creek, where we will find a place to stay for the night and check out some sights. It sounds pretty cool with mile zero of the Alaska Highway and lots of historic buildings etc!
