The route today was pretty uneventful. We got a late start after hanging with Rick and Sandi again this morning. We tried to get the truck washed in Burns Lake but the line at the car wash was too long so we continued down the road. We eventually stopped outside of Prince George and got lunch and gas and found a car wash to clean the road grime from Howie.
I have to add in here that the gas station-convenience store-Quiznos sandwich shop- car wash was an interesting place when it comes to convenience. Not only could you get lunch, liquor, gas, and a wash, but it was a full service gun, ammo, and knife shop as well. That’s a first for me in Canada.
Well we targeted a place called Heart Lake Provincial Park for camping but by the time we got there on a Friday night, there weren’t any spots left. So we searched a couple other places before we finally settled on a side road traversing an underground gas line. Unfortunately some of the trees along the road to the campsite were asettled on a side road traversing an underground gas line. Unfortunately, some of the trees along the road to the campsite were a bit low, and I knocked our starling off the roof. I was able to go back and find it, but it’s pretty cracked up. It still seems to work, but I’m gonna have to get it replaced because it definitely won’t keep out the moisture.
the night was quiet and uneventful. It was fun watching the dogs run around in the waist high grass. Poor Maggie, she can’t see anyway, but she still worked her way through it. We did find a bunch of ripe raspberries along the road, and spent about 30 minutes picking them before we left.
