Welcome to McBride’s FIRST Travel-Bug Hotel. This TB Hotel is accessible all year round as this road is plowed during the winter as it’s on a school bus route.
Off to the west of the cultasac is the Dore River, which comes off the South and Center Dore Mountains. The road you are standing on was put in to make a dyke to keep the Dore River within its banks.
On May 26, 1986 around 9 p.m., a “wall of water” swept down the Dore River, blocking the bridge at the highway and then flooding several basements, overturning vehicles and submerging Highway 16. The property to the east of you was flooded along with many properties upstream. The flood was caused by a rupture of an ice dam/huge avalanche in the headwaters of the south fork of the Dore River.
During the flash flood, floodwaters were estimated 4 ft. (1.2 m) on the road near the Dore River Bridge. After about an hour, the water receded. A total of 74 people were evacuated the first night. The most dramatic incidents included the destruction of one private home, tumbling of a D8 Cat down the creek channel and a car being swept off Highway 16, at the Dore River Bridge
