Got a little mud on the tires

Actually is was closer to a lot of mud all over the truck.  Drove out on a day trip to Telegraph Creek.

WOW!!

It is 115 km of dirt road.  The trip out took us four hour as the road was wet and muddy from the rains last night.  The truck was in 4x4 but still did some sliding at certain points.  More than a few 20% grades (yes, I said 20 - that is not a typo) and some hairpin turns make the drive very interesting.

This is the grand canyon of the north and the views of the valley are spectacular.  Deep ravines and you can see for miles.  I highly recommend stopping at the rest area for lunch, or just to look at the views.  Once we arrived in Telegraph Creek, we had pie and coffee at the RiverSong before heading back to Dease Lake.  By the time we came back out, we did the route in half the time because the roads had dried.
