Fellow Campfire Members;
While I know I've already included the link to find out the road conditions here in BC, which is
http://www.drivebc.ca/, I found a new facet of it just last week that can be very, very helpful.
I should insert here that if you are staying in a BC hotel on your way to or from a hunt, most now in the southern parts of our province are wi-fi equipped, so bring along your laptop or other internet compatible device by all means.
So then going back to the drivebc.ca website, on the tool bar on top of the page, the 4th icon from the left should read "webcam list"
If you click on it, it then divides the province into geographic areas.
Once you click on the geographic area you will be traveling through one will be able to click on various webcams set up on the highways which will show current weather conditions.
These highway cams vary a wee bit in how often they change, but are updated with enough frequency that they can be extremely useful tools.
For instance if you want to know what the conditions are on the Anarchist Summit out of Osoyoos - this one's for you my friend Scott -
- here is the link showing that section of highway.
http://images.drivebc.ca/bchighwaycam/pub/html/dbc/64.htmlOK, I just learned this as I checked out the posted link - old dog still learning new tricks here -
. So if you see the little map at the bottom of the webcam photo, it show where the next webcam up the road and down the road are.
If you click your cursor on the next camera on the map then the most recent photo from that camera comes up. Especially for winter - or early spring and late fall driving here in BC - this will be a very helpful trip planning tool for our family.
Again, hopefully that is some use to a visiting traveler and will allow you to get to and from your hunting destination in a safe manner.
Regards,
Dwayne
