Is The 1921 Historic Quick Bridge Doomed Quick British Columbia (14 - Pictures)

Above Photo: The Telkwa Mountain Range.

Today, December 15, 2015 we decided to take a drive on the Walcott Forest Service Road as I wanted to take some pictures of the Telkwa Mountain Range and other scenic areas along the way.

With a bright blue sky and the ground covered with snow, all this make for some really nice photos. I also had my sights set on the old Quick Bridge near the end of todays journey, actually I did not know if it was still there as there has been talk that the bridge was to be torn down.

As we dropped in elevation from the mountains and entered into the valley, there it stood, an amazing sight to see, the old Quick wooden bridge was still there.

1861 Christ Church Historic Site Hope British Columbia (5 - Pictures)

In early November 2015 my wife, our dog Peanut and I dropped by Hope, British Columbia on our way back home to Houston, British Columbia. I wanted to check it out as I had not been into the community in years. 

Well did I get a surprise, a good one at that. As we drove around I spotted the 1861 Christ Church and a lot of large awesome wood carvings. These were great and they were on different ideas as you will see in my postings.

Because I have taken a lot of pictures in Hope, I will break the posts up into a number of them and add places of interest from around that area.

Hope has always been an excellent place to visit and to explore. I grew in Coquitlam, 

so Hope wasn’t that far away.

First up will be the 1861 Historic Christ Church in Hope, B.C.

Old Historic Hazelton British Columbia (Pictures)

Hazelton is one of the oldest settlements in Northern British Columbia, its European settlement dates back to 1866 when the Collins Overland telegraph went through.

Hazelton was the original gateway and staging area for the Omineca Gold Rush of 1869-73. Besides the hunt for riches, there was one other important reason to visit: it had the only proper hospital for hundreds of miles in any direction. 

One of its other, less appreciated, distinctions was in having dozens of roaming, foraging and howling sled dogs, as nearly everyone had their own team and many were allowed to run free.
