We travelled on ap crossong over to the west again just south of the Gang Ranch and eventually came out on the Bella Coola Highway at Riske Creek. The scenery is breathtaking and as it was all gravel it is not used a lot.
My goal is to the the trip again once I have my M37 on the road.

I will see what photos I have from the area and scan them in as they were all taken with a 3mm long before I bought a digital camera.

Yeah, it's gorgeous country isn't it? We used to cross the Fraser at Lytton and hunted in the Schulaps and Camelsfoot mountains beyond Lillooet. Shot my first Mule Deer there.
There used to be an old boy at the south end of Cariboo Lake who scratched a living from doing odd repairs, welding, and a little gold mining and panning. I don't remember his name but I do remember he had three M37's; a cargo model, an ambulance, and a wireless version. I tried more than once to buy one from him but he wanted to keep them all in case he needed spare parts to keep his cargo model running. He must be near retiring now, if he's still there. You might want to take a run out there one day to see if the trucks are still there as they should be preserved and not Bubba-ized by some locals. He's on the left hand side of the road just before Cariboo Lake, you can't miss the trucks, if they're still there.
