I had been planning on driving to Bella Coola on Day 54, June 18th, but a forecast for rain and a nag that something wasn’t right stopped me, and I headed to Williams Lake and then north instead. I decided that Smithers would be a good destination, making it...

While boondocking at Farwell Canyon for 3 days, the dogs and I took the morning of Day 53, June 17th, to explore Junction Sheep Range Provincial Park, located above Farwell Canyon at the junction of the Fraser and Chilcotin Rivers. Access to the park is officially described as “difficult,...

On Day 51 of the trip, June 15th, I headed northwest from Lone Butte to Farwell Canyon, off the Bella Coola road west of Williams Lake. I had intended it to be 2 nights of boondocking, but it got extended to 3, and could easily have been a week....

After 3 excellent days camped in Lillooet, on Day 49 of the trip, June 13th, we moved on to visit a high school friend and her husband in Lone Butte. On the way, I finally stopped to visit historic Hat Creek Ranch. We pulled away from the Fraser Cove...

One of my aims for our visit to Lillooet was to spend a day on “the road much less travelled”, to the historic gold mining towns of Goldbridge and Bralorne. What a day it was! There are 58 photos and a map in this post. Click here to open...

On the drive to Lillooet, I disconnected the Tracker to go back for a better look at the western section of the Duffey Lake Road, the climb up from Pemberton. On Day 47, June 11th, I went back for a look at the eastern section, the even more dramatic...

As I mentioned in my last post, within a couple of hours of arriving at the Fraser Cove RV Park in Lillooet, I had booked a third night. I had lots to see and do in Lillooet and the area. The photos and commentary in this post are from...

For the past few weeks, my regular readers have been travelling with me through a world of ocean views and big trees. On Day 46 of the trip, June 10th, I crossed over the coastal mountains on the Duffey Lake Road into the dry Interior of British Columbia, to...

I expect that many people camp at Nairn Falls Provincial Park while they’re using the vast network of mountain biking trails around Pemberton. For me, the hike to Nairn Falls was the draw. The sign to the right at the start of the trail says: “Nairn Fall, 1.5 Km....

On Day 45 of the trip, June 9th, after 37 days being within a short distance of the ocean, I moved inland. After taking a ferry from the Sunshine Coast, the Sea to Sky Highway (BC Highway 99) was the route to Pemberton. We had a nice calm morning...
