Travel

Day #190
 
 
During the early 1900's, traveling to the north of British Columbia, required you to travel by stage coach, horse back or stern wheeler. Coming up to Prince George from Vancouver would take several days!  Thinking about the conditions that those traveler had to endure. 
 
In this day and age we complain about traveling. That it takes 8 hours to drive to Vancouver. That the flight was delayed an hour.. and not many people even consider traveling by rail. And in a few weeks we can say farewell to the 'Greyhound' Bus.
If those people back in the day, could see how we travel today.. I just wonder what they would think?

Far into the distance you can see the Yellow head Bridge, take that bridge you can travel east to Edmonton.  To the left of the photo  is where the Stern-wheelers docked, and to the right, the railway tracks. 


I was googling photos of what this area looked like during the 1909-1921... so different.... 


Thank you for reading and taking a look!

I will see you next time!
