Thursday
Today is my baby brother’s birthday! Happy birthday baby slug!! We love you and can’t wait to see you in a few days!
Woke up to rain and more rain, doesn’t bother me, but Scott said he wanted to wear his sunglasses sometime today. We drove over Steamboat Mountain summit (3500 ft. elevation) today and went through some very thick fog. Kinda scary, but it didn’t last long. We woke up at 7am and were on the road by 9:03am. A record for us for this trip, we were on the road before Wesley’s first nap.
We stopped at a rest area with a playground. It was nice for the boys to get out and stretch. John loved the play time and Wesley loved watching him. There were night facilities with great picnic tables and birds were begging for scraps.
We decided to take the Hudson’s Hope Loop into Prince George instead of going through Dawson Creek. It is a beautiful drive with large ranches and farming. The road is 10% grades that brings you down into Peace River Valley. There are little deer all over the valley grazing off the side of the road.
We camped at King Gething campground in Hudson’s Hope. After 3 minutes of our arrival the campground host/manager came over in a pickup truck and “gave” us some firewood for the night and told us he would be back by in the morning to collect the fee. There were only 10 sites, but it had showers and a sani-dump, and it backs up to an empty lot, it is very quiet. We had two deer visit with us until Scott turned on the generator…
We built our first fire since we have been on the road. I put the boys to bed and sat by the fire for a few hours. Scott sat with me for a bit then went inside to do his night time therapies. It was perfect weather and a perfect night. We didn’t have any cell/text/ or internet coverage!
No driving for me today!
