Chilcotin Ranches



The Chilcotin region of BC is a large area.  So large that after 30 years of exploring my wife and I still have not been to all the corners being that it is some 300+ kms by 300+kms as a region.  We decided for Thanksgiving weekend we would look around because the weather forecast was so good.  It was nice (-8 C in the morning) and very beautiful fall days.  On the Chezacut Road area we explored some interesting  Ducks Unlimited project areas, which will definitely warrant a return in the spring when many waterfowl and other birds will be in the area.

I almost had the pair of cowboy boots that I've always wanted at an abandoned ranch building from a bygone era, but decided to let them pass into history a little longer.  Grizzly

    1. That style of house with a sod roof and log walls was common in the Chilcotin but there are fewer and fewer surviving. Grizzly

    2. I'm a great fan of old, original cabins and houses. My forthcoming novel "Coming of Age on the Trail" (based on Norman Lee's epic drive) is partially set in The Cariboo--Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, area. Do you have a FB page?
