| Description: |
South shore of the Deh Cho near
a river navigation marker with an unobstructed view towards the
Transit egress, provided one is sited properly taking into
consideration brush along the bank of the river. Need to
consider possible obstructing brush for C1 as well.
While the horizon appears to be unobstructed at C4, the site
is barely adequate. There are no services.
There may be other areas along the
South shore of the Deh Cho which would be suitable. |

#3, south side of the Mackenzie River just east of the ferry
crossing. |
View towards C3-C4 from site

Lower down in site. These bushes will be a problem
(may have to tie them back.) The new Deh Cho bridge under
construction is on the horizon. |
