British Columbia Highway 27

Highway 27, the Stuart Lake Highway, is a 53 km (33 mi) long spur of the Yellowhead Highway in the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako. First opened in 1967, it provides a connection from Vanderhoof, on Highway 16, north to Fort St. James, at the southern end of Stuart Lake. Highway 27 is an excellent two lane all weather roadway, well maintained by BC government overseen contractors. Major hazards are moose and deer that frequently run in front of oncoming vehicles. Persons driving this roadway at night should be cautious and slow down some. Moose can be difficult to see until too late since their fur tends to absorb light and the eyes don't reflect light well. The most visible portion of a moose is from the knee joints down on all four legs which are normally whiter. The expression used by most truckers in the area is "watch for the white" referring to the white on the legs since that is all that seems to reflect light from head lamps.

Famous quotes containing the words british, columbia and/or highway:

    Absolute monarchy,... is the easiest death, the true Euthanasia of the BRITISH constitution.

    David Hume (1711–1776)

    Although there is no universal agreement as to a definition of life, its biological manifestations are generally considered to be organization, metabolism, growth, irritability, adaptation, and reproduction.
    —The Columbia Encyclopedia, Fifth Edition, the first sentence of the article on “life” (based on wording in the First Edition, 1935)

    The most excellent and divine counsel, the best and most profitable advertisement of all others, but the least practised, is to study and learn how to know ourselves. This is the foundation of wisdom and the highway to whatever is good.... God, Nature, the wise, the world, preach man, exhort him both by word and deed to the study of himself.
    Pierre Charron (1541–1603)
