DAY ONE…
December 31st, 2004Got up early. Pouring rain here. Decided to drive on the old HWY #1 towards Cache Creek/Williams Lake. This is where the rain turned to snow. Driving became a wee bit trecherous. We began to see cars in the ditches.
Stopped in Williams Lake to visit Shreddie’s Mom and give her a Christmas present.
Vehicle count by the time we made it to Powder King (2 hours north of Prince George) was about 5 cars/mini vans and 2 4×4 pickups in the ditches. Funny thing, the 4×4′s were the ones that actually flipped, the rest just slid off the roads.
We arrived at the “hotel” (and I use this term very loosely) in Powder King (Chateau Atco). My suggestion, unless you have a strong immune system – and stomache – find somewhere else to stay…..
At least we had a great sense of adventure:
Our accomodations
The “facilities”:
No where to go but up from here……but once you understand how and why things operate the way they do…then it all begins to make sense somehow.
