And hope this does not happen. Buy the way these last 2 pictures are not from this year but a few years ago. I just added to prove a point that it is hard driving in winter so be prepared for anything. And stay safe.

The CN Rail Bridge Prince George BC

The CN Rail Bridge is a truss bridge over the Fraser River. It was built in 1914 by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. It was designed to open and let Paddle Wheeler ship to pass under it. Until recently it was used as both Trains and Motor Vehicle Bridge with the train in the middle and cars on both sides (not fun when icy). To my knowledge it has only been open once, shortly after being built. This bridge was vital to the growth of Prince George and the BC interior forest industry. If anyone has more information on this wonderful bridge please comment or email me.

Kristian Winther Regional Park

Today we found a park we had never been to before in fact we did not even know about it. There are nice well maintained trails and a large field area which is great for kids to play and run around. Access is easy with lots of parking. There is a picnic area and also a covered in area for those rainy times. The large grass area would be great for the sun bathers and the trails are great if you want to go for a short stroll. I would suggest this park for anyone who wants to go to a nice relaxing and scenic location close to town.I think even people with limited mobility with canes (like me), walkers, and scooters can access this park without difficulity.

Go north on the Hart Highway until just before the Salmon River Bridge Turn Right onto Kinney Rd. Follow the road for a short distance and you will see the sing and parking.
