6-27-06 Vanderhoff to Spences Bridge

Scary, I am driving and taking pictures and you thought driving and talking on a cell phone was dangerous. These are statues at entrance to Smithers, B.C.

One of the roads we traveled.

The park gate was locked until 7 am so after we emptied our holding tank and filled our water tank it was 7:30. I drove to Prince George 9:10 where we bought gas for $1.12/liter. Prices are going down! Mostly there were trees along the road and we couldn't see much scenery. It was pretty with all the different shades of green at this time of year, but couldn't see off into the distance. Saw a coyote in one of the hay fields south of Quesnel. Lots of horses and hay fields around this part of B.C. Stopped at Cariboo (they spell it Cariboo in B.C. and Caribou in Alaska) Wood Shop for our last stop at a gift store and to get out and walk around. They had homemade fudge so had to indulge ourselves. Stopped south of William Lake and had lunch then decided we wanted to go farther today so we pulled into a provincial park and napped for about an hour then headed on down the road. This part of the trip there were lots of freight trucks and even more so the closer to Vancouver we got. They don't seem to slow down for anything so we pulled out whenever we could. Bought gas again in Cache Creek and finally stopped at Acacia RV Park at Spences Bridge. We were going to stay at another Provincial Park, but it was so hot we chose to have electricity to run the air conditioner. Once again by the railroad tracks, but we were too tired to care and slept pretty well. We have been having problems with the turn signals not working on the trailer, but little did we know what was to come the next day.
