Today we leave Prince George, BC in our quest to continue further West. We follow the Yellowhead Hwy and take the turn off to the Caribou Hwy or Hwy-97 and make a stop in Quesnel, BC at the confluence of the Fraser and Quensnel River to visit the Historic Park. There are some machinery parts of historical significance to this town like the steam engine of the S.S. Enterprise, the sternwheeler in service from 1863 to about 1871 on the upper Fraser River.
We also visit another park in the Lhtako Dene Nation and the statue of an Indian net fishing for salmon.
From here we continue further South to Williams Lake, BC, 100 Mile House, 93 Mile House, 70 Mile House, to Clinton, BC. Here we ditch our tent for the night.
Next day we drive into Cache Creek, BC, andother one of those towns with a dozen plus houses and have breakfast. From here we drive back a bit on Hwy-97 to find the exit to Hwy-99. It is raining, but the drive through the Marble Canyon to Lillooet, BC is breath taking.
It is a dream for motorcyclists, and everyone you likes deep canyons, high rugged mountains, and a nice winding road. Even the rain can't spoil the fun we have driving this section. After visiting a coffee place in Lillooet I had visited 2013 during the bike trip with my friends, we continue to Pemperton, BC to reach our destination of Whistler, BC. Elke hasn't seen the town since about 2001, and so all the changes made for the Winter Olympics in 2010 are completely new to her.
