Old River Rood
From Quesnel To
Likely Just Passeble

Thr road from Quesnel t) Lixeiy,

following the Quesnel itiver, could be

put in shape for travel with compara-
tively little work. This is the opinion
of John Hawrish, of West Quesnel,
who made the trip ever the route last
weele ard gave his impressions to the
Quesnel Observer.

Aceompanying John were his  bro-
ther Bill and Laurie Hryciuk. They
were five and g half hours negotiating
the 56 miles from Quesnel to Likely,
and that allowed for the time it took
to make emergency turn-outs and
improvise bridges.

“We were planning on coming back
the same way,” said John. “but it
rained on Monday and we were atraid
some of the hills might be washed
out and impassable.”

Near Hydraulic is where the party

found the road in worst condition.
Here mud slides have cut. the old
roadbed and in some places water has
ripped up the roadbed as fresiets
have coursed down to the Quesnel
River,

“It is certainly a lot shorter than
travelling by way of Sod2 Creek,”
remarked Mr. Hawrish. “We were a
little more than five hours coming
home by the regular route and we
travelled fast most of the way

The trip was made in a small truck.
‘Only once did the truck bog down and
that might have been avoided with
a little more care. Telling of the trip
Mr. Hawrish felt that one trip through
with the bulldozer would put the road
in shape for rough travel, and once
the route became popular he felt the
Toad might well be improved,

The party saw plenty of game and
