One Hundred Mile House

One Hundred Mile House- This baffled us. Why were all these towns called 10 Mile House, 50 Mile House, and 93 Mile House? After arriving at 100 Mile House, where we decided to camp in their city campground for a couple of days, we got our answer. We are following the Gold Dust Trail. Stops along the trail were marked in miles from a town called Lillooet, a major Gold Town in its day (1800’s). The weather has been beautiful, in the high 80’s. We rode our bikes all around town yesterday, and took a drive out to a fishing lake. This is a holiday weekend (Victoria Day)in Canada. There is a parade downtown this morning, and a big rodeo. We found out that we are remotely related to a rodeo star, Lyndsay Sears, who is World Champion Women’s Barrel Racer. I am wondering if she is at this rodeo? We visited the Chartreuse Moose Coffee Shop and met some local people. We spent a lot of time visiting with them. This is a really friendly town, and they love visitors.
