Unwind Mark Schiemann A guitar Instrumental in open G.
With the summer season unwinding, a lot of the birds are heading south and my furrier friends are on the move. I decided to take a trip through Soda Creek, across the Rudy Johnston Bridge, then follow the Fraser down with a little stop at Till Lake, before heading back to Williams Lake on Highway 20 for the fantastic view as I dropped back down to cross the Fraser for the second time.
The trip was a little shy on wildlife, but it gave me a chance to just relax and enjoy the end of summer and the start of autumn as the colors begin to change. Fall doesn't last long in the Cariboo, but it inspired this song.

Thank you for listening.

His love for the Cariboo and his love of guitars and music are being combined on this channel in hopes of bringing forth his passion for both.

Located in Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada.

The Cariboo is a spectacular region located in British Columbia, Canada.
It covers an area of 131,286 square kilometers and has a population of 66,291 people as of 20230701. That is approximately 1.9 square kilometers per person.
It's incredibly varied terrain and ecosystems are home to a myriad of wildlife, including many favorites like Bear, Deer and Moose, Eagles and Hawks are also a common sight.
When combined with it's sister region the Chilcotin, as the two areas are connected both physically and historically, you have one of the most beautiful regions on the entire planet.
Reaching from the Shores of the Pacific to an elevation of 3,516 m in the Cariboo Mountains the Cariboo/Chilcotin contains over 8000 lakes, including Quesnel Lake, the deepest fjord lake in the World. Add to that the Fraser river, the Nemaiah Valley, Beaver Valley, Cedar point, Chasm, The Cariboo and Chilcotin rivers.. and so many small communities like Horsefly and Likely and Barkerville and and and.... I just don't have enough room here.
Hot summers and Cold winters make it a fantastic place to visit but the same can make living here difficult. Long distances, Mosquito season, the odd 38c (100F) day in the summer, snow, ice and the odd 45c ( 49F )day in the winter all make the Cariboo a challenging place to live.
It's offering of outdoor activities, beauty and wildlife can make it worthwhile though.
The Cariboo was named so as early as 1861 when Governor Douglas sent dispatches about the area to Britain. It is thought that it was named so for the many Caribou that lived in the area at the time and it was simply misspelling that caused it to be named the Cariboo instead of the Caribou.
Unfortunately the Caribou number much lower then they did in those days and the Cariboo's population of Caribou numbers just over a thousand.
