Where else but the Cariboo could you expect to find a "log cabin" thrift store?
Barkerville was lots of fun and we spent the better part of two days there. We panned for gold, we got yelled at by "the judge" (which is better than at Fort Steele where my husband managed to get himself thrown in jail by "the sheriff"), we walked up to Richfield court house, we bought candy at the general store (and at the candy store), we ate yummy Chinese food, and...Eureka! we struck it rich.
We found the "mother lode"...of blueberries and huckleberries, that is. All the way on the walk to Richfield we stuffed ourselves with berries. I grew up on the coast where we had red huckleberries growing in our yard. I love them but I think I like black ones even more, even the smell is delicious.

What an adorable thrift store!
Sounds like Barkerville is worth the journey :-)
Looks like you timed things just right to score all those berries!
What a neat looking thrift store - lots of treasures on the inside???
Okay, after seeing that old washing machine, I'm feeling pretty spoiled with what I have to use. Think what a workout you would get using the one in your photo!
