Thanks so much for these. I used to drive that stretch twice a year from southern BC to PG then west throughout the 90s. In the winter, I'd breathe a sigh of relief upon hitting Cache Creek on my way back -less chance of wintery conditions.
Blast from the past for me. My family drove that road that very year, most memorably to visit Barkerville and pan for gold. Maybe our greatest family vacation.
Amazing how similar the road is today, especially between Cache Creek and Clinton, except for a few passing lanes, its the same road (with much less traffic)
The road from Clinton to 100 Mile has changed quite a bit. It's straightened out with all those those curves removed and 4 lanes now for a lot of it and it bisects the old road. The old alignment still exists and is driveable but it's broken up into individual sections. It's accessible from the new highway.
I don't think the video is readily available. I had to ask someone at the Ministry to send me the link. Now that I have it, I love identifying the roadhouses and old ranches along the old Cariboo Wagon Road. My favourite scene, however, is the drive through 150 Mile House. How wonderful to see remnants of the old town before most of the structures were moved or destroyed. Cheers, Loyd
@@MinistryofTranBC I wonder what constitutes a spam comment? You think that's legit? Why, for such a new video with so little viewership? Extraordinary!

I've lived on one of those sections for my whole life. my neighbor apparently hasn't cleaned his yard in over 58 years lol

Are we listening to a film projector or a lawnmower?🤔
Why is my comment below the only one showing even though more are indicated?
RUclips hides spam comments automatically. Which is why you can't see them. :)
