Esther's Inn Prince George

... 300 miles east to Prince George, BC.

This was a long driving day – 450 miles. We left Stewart at 7:20 am. The day was pretty uneventful, but scenic, as we entered the Fraser River Valley. We arrived in Prince George around 5:00, but stopped for refueling before pulling into the Sintich RV Park around 5:30 pm.

Date: December 10, 2008 Hawaii - The Epilogue to a 52 Part Series Anyone who looks at this blog for the first time today would assume that it was written as it occurred from December 16, 2007 to January 14, 2008. Considering how much thought, research and just plain work that went into the writing of this blog, it would have been a stretch to write it as we were traveling. I must add that such an endeavor would have left no time to do any ...

... travelled route fit the bill perfectly. On this highway, we stopped to take pictures of some mountain goats/sheep (?) for a full 20 minutes before another car came by (and of course it had to be a "rally" car that made a big production of skidding around us to avoid a collision..."go ahead dude, I'd put the Big Zeke's bumper up against your little Euro-car anytime!"). Other wildlife viewed on the drive included a red fox that casually ...

... confluence with the Fraser River. . While it is difficult to see from shore, the operation has all the appearance and futility of a gnat on an elephant. The resulting narrow short channel will have little or no effect on this massive ice jam which now extends 15 kilometers upstream. Furthermore the contract was for 10 days which are just about up at this point. Solution No. 3 This is a solution which should be operational shortly. It involves running hot ...

... Kauai, to recharge their artistic batteries. When is the best time to go to Hawaii? That question was raised when another friend from Ottawa, Wilf Schwarz, a travel agency manager with Handa Travel, informed me that "it rains a lot in Hawaii during the Christmas holidays". Wilf is another retired fellow teacher who has done very well for himself in his post-retirement careers as a travel agent, real estate agent, disc jockey and gentleman farmer ...

... top city to visit in the Americas. What is confusing about this upscale travel and life style magazine is that there are two editions whose contents are not the same. Condé Nast Traveler - U.S. edition Condé Nast Traveller - U.K. edition (note the difference in spelling) Americas No. 1 - Buenos Aires No. 2 - Vancouver, British Columbia No. 3 - Victoria, British Columbia (just nudges out Quebec City) http ...

... Highway is unknown to me. To get to Alaska from here, just follow the road 435 km to Whitehorse, Yukon. The border with Alaska, USA is 484 km further while another 295 km will bring on the bright lights of Fairbanks. Once there, one can mull over the thought of driving 493 miles on gravel road to Prudhoe Bay. If that isn't depressing enough one can dwell on the ...

One moment of inattention can result in a tremendous amount of damage or a loss of lives. Of course, that is the silver lining in this story: there was no loss of life.
