 bicycle_girl Says:  It's happening once a year, the mushers go around the US and Canada and race their dogs... At 108 mile house, you can rent a cabin, do some cross-country skiing, try snow tubing, or just enjoy a glass of wine in front of the fireplace...

 Darby2 Says:  Interior shot of a log home. The warmth and elegance of a log home is hard to beat. In most cases, the natural finish of the wood is varnished. Some commercial buildings and lodges can be as high as 4 stories

 Darby2 Says:  Needless to say, Green Lake takes its name from the intense blue-green colour of its water. Although not a prime fishing lake it has a good stock of rainbows and Kokanee. It's primarily a base camp from which to explore the thousands of other lakes in the area.
