Getting The Most Out of the Cariboo Visit

There are numerous tours or side trips you can consider in order to take in the total beauy that the Cariboo area has to offer.  They can take a day or several weeks to complete so planning is vital in making sure that enough time has been allocated... you won't be sorry.
Many of the roads in the Cariboo are built on old pioneer trails so it isn't uncommon to see historical structures as you travel.  As you make your journey in your vehicle, imagine what it was like for the early settlers in their wooden-wheel wagons on the dirt roads.  Today, while negotiating raging rivers or jagged mountain passes by simply using a modern bridge or tunnel, think back to the days when man and wagon first encountered these obstacles, and how they solved them.
In a couple of minutes you cross the bridge; back then, they spent weeks building that bridge.  What remains the same is the awe-inspiring beauty of the land.  Just as the scenery took the breath away from the settlers as they came around each bend in the trail, so it will capture you as you travel the same roads so many years later.

Cariboo Defined

Many visitors to the province of British Columbia end up travelling through the Cariboo.  Heading north on Highway #1 you come to a small town called Cache Creek.  At the traffic light select Highway #97 and prepare for your introduction to the Cariboo about 20 minutes later when you go through the town of Clinton BC. 
You start to get the cowboy-plains-adventure flavour real soon as you continue to travel north right through to Prince George BC.  It's wide too; about 600 Km wide with lots of open spaces.  Around every bend in the road you expect to see a surprise, and rarely are you disappointed.  There's scenery to take your breath away, so take your camera out of the case.  If you don't encounter some form of game along the way you may find some historical site worth a click.
Visitors of the past have found themselves in the middle of a cattle drive as real cowboys move their herd to fertile grazing areas.  You are in the real west with everything here but the outlaws. 

Welcome Aboard

Glad you stopped by to see what is offered on this blog site.
As time goes by you will get small peeks into what makes up Cariboo living.  You will see the uniqueness of the area.  You will find out what it is about the interior of BC that you really like, and possibly, what you don't like.  While most things in life rarely meet the category of "perfect", many come close.  For me, the enjoyment factor of living here far exceeds any downsides that have come up.
The weather, although often extreme, is understated as beautiful.  From crisp winters to challenge your resolve in the cold season to warm, desert-like breezes to soothe you in the summer, there is a time that is consideraed as the "favourite" for everyone who calls the Cariboo their home.
Come back often to see what I'm talking about.
