No More Side Trips!!! Too Much Time Riding Already!

Our next door neighbor, who is Canadian, told us that a must see was Kinuseo Falls.  They are a tiny bit higher than Niagara Falls.  Needless to say, we drove for an hour to Tumbler Ridge then had to take a 35 mile one way trip to the falls on a GRAVEL road.  Beautiful scenery but we wouldn't do it again.  Saw a moose but couldn't get a pic....he was on the move.  We arrived Dawson Creek yesterday late and will depart tomorrow.  It rained a bit on and off and even had some hail in the higher altitudes.
This was way back in the mountains southeast f Dawson Creek.  We passed a huge wind farm on the way out.
This was a large coal producing area from the 70's to the 90's.  Then Japan no longer needed the coal.  However, they are beginning to mine coal again.  I met a bus inside this tunnel.  Olivia did well.
This is the waterfall which is supposed to drop a little bit further than Niagara.  I think it would have looked more impressive if we could have seen it from the bottom up.  Trail was closed.
I always pack a lunch when we leave for the day as there are not too many restaurants to be found in the boonies.  The rain went away for us.  
This is the view after water comes over the falls.
Saw 5 of these gorgeous creatures today.  Their coats were the color of that shiny black rock you find out west.  Can't remember the name.
I love it when a Life Bird poses for me.  Will figure out what it is later.
Canada has some weird signs.
