I live 2 hours from the historic town of Barkerville and if you can believe it, I have never been before until last weekend. I went with Mary and Pierre and we had a great time touring through the old townsite. Mary, of Dandelion Interpretation, used to be a tour guide in Wells, which is 2 minutes down the road from Barkerville, so she had many stories about the town, the people, and the history. Hard to believe there is this much snow there, and nothing here!
