Keeping the buildings warm
The dinning room in one of the more affluent houses.
Chopping the fire wood must have been a regular chore back then just to keep the fires going in the kitchens, shops, businesses and to have a hot bath. We got a real chuckle out of this 'sits' bath.

St Saviour's Anglican Church
St Saviour's Anglican Church is still consecrated, owned by the Anglican Church and every Sunday they hold a service.
The stoves
Some of the wood stoves are huge, the once above is in J. P. Taylor's Drug Store.
This one was in the House Hotel Coffee Saloon

Small wood stove in a living room, note the bear skin on the wall.
The best stove of all in this kitchen.

Moose
On the way down the mountain back to Quesnel I had just been saying to Bill 'When are we going to see some wild life?' and around the next corner we saw these two moose a couple of kilometers apart.

Size counts!
While staying a couple of nights at the Robert's Roost RV Camp Ground in Quesnel, two of these huge 5th wheel Toy carriers came into the park along with another 40'+ double rear axle motor home pulling a trailer with two ATV's on board. The three rigs were traveling together so we presume that both the 5th wheels had a couple of ATV's in them.
