  1. We visited the CLUKULZ REST AREA between Prince George and Vanderhoof on the 9. Of Sept. 2010 at 12.oo noon. It was disgusting. The women's bathrooms were dirty, both out of toilet paper. 1 toilet was running. The gras outside was very high. Whoever maintains this rest stops hold be fired. Hope something happens now. It's just a nice rwst stop and a shame that it' s so uncared for.
