Re: post up your camping pics

Those signs are probably new since the late 1970s. We stayed at a private CG at McBride to get showers, and then next night at McLure(?) Lake along the Yellowhead but it has a "native" name now. I was pulling a travel trailer along with a huge load in the pickup bed so it was pretty slow, and the Cassiar was still under construction so lots of stop/wait and rough road. So we ended up stopping by the first Bell-Irving bridge. It was brand new then and only a couple of planks laid down over the primered steel. Pulled down into a steep "parking lot" and ran the rear wheels of the pickup up on some big old timbers lying around to somewhat level the trailer. I remember they had a little ball field with a couple benches labeled "Dease Stadium" And then Boya Lake. Didn't see much of the lake itself because it was about dark when we got there. Took an evening walk, though Coming out of there we got separated from the other couple in their car and didn't catch up to them until almost the Alcan Hwy. I thought they were behind us and kept slowing down while they were trying to catch up! Coming back south a couple years later just me and my dog I followed mostly the same route. The Cassiar highway was a lot better by then. I picked up a lot of hitchhikers. It was a different world back then.
