My Awesome Experience In And Around Quesnel British Columbia (8 - Pictures)

Above Photo: A gigantic gold pan and gold nugget in Quesnel, British Columbia.

Quesnel has always been a special place for me as friends and family had soured the back roads prospecting, fishing and hiking through the woods. Mostly it turned out to be a great get away.

Quesnel also has a wonderful museum that I have toured many a times, and each and every time I walk through it, I find something new from the past that I missed from a prior visit. Below is a link to Quesnel's Museum. The museum is closed for the winter and will reopen for the 

summers rush of tourists.

First Snowfall In 2015 At The Steelhead Park Houston British Columbia (7 - Pictures)

People play hard in the summer time around Houston, British Columbia. The weather is nice so folks grab their fishing rod, boat and motor and head off to one of the many lakes to catch that really nice Trout. Some like to lay around sunbaking, maybe head off on a nice hike, or paddle around in a canoe or kayak, but no matter what people do, they love soaking up the heat. 

After a fun summer and fall sets in, people again are busy gathering fire wood and getting last minute repairs done for the long winter that soon will be upon us. Before we know it, temperatures start dropping and that cool rain shower turns to frozen soft flakes that falls gently to the ground. Now we know, winter has arrived in Houston, B.C.

Ashcroft Manor Off The Trans Canada Highway Near Cache Creek British Columbia (5 - Pictures)

Above Photo: The Ashcroft Manor.

This heritage site is one that I have driven by dozens of time and I have never stopped in. It seems I was always in a rush to get to Langley or back home here in Houston, British Columbia. 

In early November I made the stop and I am so happy I did. What a gorgeous building and all the buildings on the site. 

The two Elm trees that are in front of the Manor were shipped all the way from England as seedlings and are over 100 years old. 

The Ashcroft Manor is approximately 10 kilometers south from Cache Creek directly off of the Trans Canada Highway.
