British Columbia

Howdy from Beautiful British Columbia. I'm up here for several weeks of special meetings, and have just arrived in Terrace. You can find it about halfway up the province, on the west side.

If you follow the red highway from Vancouver over to the east to Golden then north to Valemount and on up to Terrace, you will have traveled in four seconds what took me four days. It's a bit of a haul at a little over 1,100 miles of snow covered roads and stormy conditions, but we all arrived in one piece and now will work our way back south.


The north route that I'm on is as follows:

Sunday, December 4th - Terrace
Tuesday, December 6th - Smithers
Sunday, December 11th - Prince George
Tuesday, December 13th - Quesnel
Sunday, December 18th - Vancouver

And Me

Huge amounts of British Columbia are covered in forest and mountains, and the top half is nearly uninhabited with the exception of a few logging and mining towns. All of the areas I will be in until I get back to Vancouver will be populated primarily with people who work in the timber industry.

It's a beautiful place, and I've tried to take a few pictures, but for the most part have been skunked due to stormy weather. Not sure how often I'll update on this trip, but will try to take more photos when it clears up, and post them when I get a chance.

Hope this finds all well!
