    I would doubt anyone is monitoring that road. It is an hour and a half from anywhere. It will be breaking up as well because the frost is coming out.

    The road was plowed out to quesnel lake but a lot of the spurs roads are not plowed. Cougar bay is plowed. Hen Ingram was open to a logging site.
    Hope you have good mud tires and clearance under your truck!! You will need them. 20 inches of snow on my lawn and some places have 4 feet of snow in the bush. 96 inches of snow this year. Your call.
    Thanks Tigrr...Appreciate front porch knowledge..
    Cheers

This is stupid and I hope karma bites those officers involved at some point; they deserve it. GD
    Agree this seems to be unessisary heavy handed approach....doesn't make sense ..period. hundreds crammed together on Crescent beach..couple guys go onto a lake.., fined..Hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.

    There is a lot of sand on that road and those officers should pound a couple quarts up their respective butts. What absolute crap. GD

    I took a look, and the road is removed from Horsefly provincial park as I suspected. It isn’t part of the park legally, so they would have no grounds to try and stop you.

    Looking for an update if anyone knows the road condition currently out to Alysia? Trying to get up there with my 30’ travel trailer soon, it will be left there for the season so only need to get in. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

    Pretty cheap shot I’d say, a warning and some dialog might have been a better fit here, but be aware when travelling if your chosen path uses a park road for access.
    Pretty heavy handet it seems !
    Do you know what they where actually charged with ?

    You might want to call Alysia resort and find out if they are open. The road in will be muddy. No point in driving in if the gates are closed.

    Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"

    Thanks guys, yes gates opened up today. Heard a big boat already went in to get the docks back together so hopefully no issues for me, except the mud of course
