on this day 2006
Author: hoggerdoug

August 26, 2006, the trip has barely begun and I have taken 21 images already, little did I know at the time that I would be posting them ten years later on Trainorders.. We are northbound Lillooet to Williams Lake on the RMR Fraser Discovery.
images:
01 on the Fraser River bridge a mile from Lillooet and about ascend Kelly Lake hill
02 along the way, lots of slide fencing
03 more of the hillside
