A good series of photo's don. Unless I miss my guess however, The first pic is Southbound into Cache Creek as taken from the North side of town. I'm particularly interested in the pics from Hwy. 16, Prince Rupert to Prince George. I and Judy are going to make that trek one day soon. I have an uncle (now passed on to his reward with The Lord) that lived in Vanderhoff so long they named a pioneer road after him Derksen Road). And, of course, I want to go back to Prince Rupert, with my wife, because she's never been there, and because I was born there. I've only seen the place for one bad day since I was 5 years old, so it;ll be all pretty much new to me as well. Wonder if it looks the same now as it did in 1952?..... Nah......
