Hmmm, what do you mean by that?

When I was there it was a little town built in a hole surrounded by 5 mills one of which was a kraft mill. The bars were to be avoided on a friday night unless you enjoyed a good fight

A good fight you say?? hmmm, sounds right up my alley LOL I guess Friday night fights go hand in hand with small towns.

We were there a couple of weeks ago. It's grown a fair bit. Population is 10, 000 plus now, they even have a McDonalds, Canadian Tire and a Walmart, so you know it's going places LOL.

I have never seen anyone from Quesnel on this board. There are a couple of people in Prince George and at least one in Williams Lake. The last time I was in Prince George there were a couple of stores that carried very limited salt stuff - a Petcetera and Norwolf Pet supplies.
I grew up in PG but it is beautiful around Quesnel - tons of lakes for fishing or just to enjoy and lots and lots of outdoor activities. I used to go to Barkerville at least once a year just because I think it is so cool there. I did the canoe trip around the Bowron Lakes years and years ago before it was so crowded but I still think this is an amazing journey. Wells is pretty neat too - kind of like a mini Nelson BC where it got stuck in the 60's and never moved on.
Don't be too concerned with the whole "there's no hope beyond Hope" you will hear from the majority of the Wet coasters Life in the north is great!
