June 22, 2014 Vanderhoof, BC, Canada

Well.... We are still having problems with our Blog. Since we are in Canada, we cannot access the blog to create new posts. Big thanks to Jeremy – he can access the blog. We will send the info and Jeremy will create the post. Thanks again Jerm for your help!!

Today was an uneventful day – which is not necessarily a bad thing!!

We left the RV Park in Lac le Hache at about 8:15. We drove to Vanderhoof and arrived at 3:15 – about 240 miles. The road was great and we were running at about 60 mph, except on the hills where we could only get up to 50. Not bad though. (On the hills, I was wishing we has a diesel engine!!) We had a little problem too keeping up to the posted speed limit.


We drove through Williams Lake, Quesnel, and Prince George. The only exciting thing today was in Williams Lake. As we pulled in to a quick stop get gas, there were 2 women (an older and a younger – mom and daughter??) filling BMW motorcycles. We couldn't get far enough ahead to reach our tank, but that was no big deal. I washed about 2.3 million bugs off the windshield while we waited.

The women were trying to hurry in order to let us pull forward. In their rush the younger woman's mc tipped over. Another fellow and I helped pick it up – man are those things heavy!!

The terrain along the way was forested with aspen/birch and some evergreens. There are several log home “factories” and one specialized in cedar logs – very magnificent!! There are also many, many lakes and meadows. A lot of cattle, too.




We stop frequently at the Rest Areas. They are not quite the same as the ones in the “States”. We use the bathroom in the trailer. It is nice to be able to stop whenever you want and have a clean restroom!!
