Friday
Woke up to rain again. It seems like everything is a little bit damp all the time, like our towels and clothing that we have folded up in the closets. We took a quick tour of Hudson’s Hope. Then we headed to check-out one of their hydro-dams. The little town has two hydro-dams that helped create the largest reservoir in North America. It is a very scenic drive with steep 10% grades. I would say it is worth the trip. We forgot kitty in the trailer until we got to the dam, when we opened the door she was standing there meowing at us. We decided she doesn’t like riding in the trailer going down the road.
We stopped in Chetwynd to check out their annual international chainsaw carving contest. It is day two of the contest. It reminds me of the ice sculpture contest in Fairbanks. Only their sculptures last much longer! They have previous year’s sculptures setup throughout the downtown area. There are some very intricate carvings, worth taking a look.
Down the road we stopped at Bijoux Falls. It is a large waterfall just off the side of the road. We took our first family photo with Wesley. John loved the waterfall. He wanted to go through rocks in it. Both Wesley and John didn’t know what to think about the mist coming from the falls. We couldn’t get too close or we would get a face full of water. Right after we left Bijoux Falls we saw some tourists stopped on the side of the road standing about 10 feet away from a little black bear taking pictures of it. I hope they didn’t have salmon for lunch!
So far I think this has been my favorite day of the trip. The weather has cleared up and the drive is just amazing!
We are in Prince George for the night. We are staying in an RV park with full hookups, we will be able to shower and do laundry. Laundry is much needed at this point, I also need to cook up some veggies for Wesley to have food for the rest of the trip. We may get a late start tomorrow as we have not done any of our mentioned chores yet. We are heading to bed now.
Nope, didn’t drive today.
