On the 9th of June we go on a short two week holiday up to Northern BC. Greg missed out on the trip I did up there with Mum two years ago and I really wanted to show him the place and also to get further up to Telegraph Creek and try get to the Spatsizi Plateau and try see Mnt Edziza and the Eve cone of an extinct volcano.
I got this book for Greg at Christmas and it is all about this area.
So our plan is to leave Saturday morning and get up to Whistler, then through Duffy Lake road up to Williams Lake. Then too Smithers and then up over the Skeena River to Stewart BC. our hope is to get up to the Salmon Glacier again but apparently there has been sop much snow this year that the terrifying road up there isn't open yet. We hope it will be by the time we get there in three weeks time. From Stewart we are off up the Cassier Highway to Dease Lake and then down on yet another of Canada's most dangerous roads to Telegraph Creek on the Stikine River. Here we will try and get a flight to the Mnt Edziza . This area is one of the most inaccessible areas of our province and so I am sure we will come home feeling very spoiled. To top it all off the pups will be with us so Baloo will get the feel for what it's like to live in our family.
This is what the Spatsizi looks like.

Beautiful! Sounds like an awesome adventure!
