Blackwater Road

I just got back from a trip on the Blackwater Road out of Prince George. The trip was about 125KMs. The road is gravel. What a delight to drive that road! Most of it is at least twice as wide as the 108 and Bells Lk rds. In my total trip I guess, conservatively, that I did not hit more then 10 metres of washboard. 10 meters as in approximately 30+ feet. And not only that, the approach's to cattle guards was seamless.

Now the question I have is this: If they can construct and maintain a gravel road like that, WHY CAN'T THEY DO THE SAME DOWN HERE. I have some ideas as to why not, but, I will keep them to myself. If you have been following this blog then you probably can guess.

It's a real shame to see our tax money spent this way.

Slow down when driving around the Horsefly area, you my be able to prolong the life of your vehicles.
