Hotel Hudson Bay Lodge Smithers

... and therefore didn't get to see the sights around the town.

I have been completing a collage of photos for our fellow caravaners as a remembrance of our trip together. I compiled photos of items begiining with the same letter as each person's last name and added background music.

... located a blown fuse and was able to purchase a replacement at trusty old Wal-mart.

The rest of the day was spent on the road with very few pictures taken during the ride. So that's it everyone. Now go take a gander at our following entry to see all the fun things we did to make up for this lack-luster day. :)

... It is located on the Cassair Highway where it intersects with the road to Stewart, BC and Hyder, Alaska. Wendell and I stayed in Hyder at Camp Run-a-Muck when we were here before. It’s not a great park, but we spent all our time in the Tongass National Park exploring glaciers and watching the bears from the viewing stand by the river. We’ll definitely be getting into bear country and look forward so telling you about any encounters we have.

We arrived in Smithers for a one night stand and had a pot luck dinner and happy hour. The crew is ready to finish the tour and head out on there own and so are we. The landscape has changed from mountains and wildlife to good old farm land. But christa saw a black bear on the way. Ray and Christa

... First Nation village with guided tours. Then on to Moricetown where it is possible to watch people catch fish with nets from a vantage point high above the fast flowing river. Then I continued through Smithers, a really nice small town, and have found a camping spot at Fort Telkwa campground. Yes, I am camping. It seems like it has been weeks since I have done so because of the lousy weather. Distance travelled: 390 Km

... place, it has great fresh and tasty food, a big patio, free wireless internet, comfy booths inside, and a very unusual ceiling fan (it's not easy to describe, you'll have to go there to see it). After a good night's sleep we picked up the canoe to do one more lake in the area. After finishing the final lake, we said goodbye to Joanne as well as Smithers and set off on a long drive down to Lillouette and, the next day, the Pemberton Festival!

... go, Where is Karon? We look back to our site and here she is sitting at the table pointing to the ground in a demanding way wanting the Castle back where she left it! Whoops, but gee it did look funny! We might have to be good boys for a while to allow her time to get over the fact the castle wasn't where she left it. :) The road was good with plenty of room even when it came down to one lane each way. It is rated at 100kmh and this is easily ...

... woods before we got his photo. Then we noticed that along the road were many dandelions. Along with the dandelions we found bears, four of them. It seems that bears like dandelions. One was even lying down to eat his. They didn't seem to mind us photographing them. They were just busy eating. When the dandelions were no longer on the side of the road, we saw no more bears. We did see another moose and several deer ...

... CD-Brennen ist und bleibt ein Luxusdienst! Ich muss den Schock verdauen und die verlorenen Dateien wieder niederschreiben. Nachdem auch die Zuendung am Motorrad versagte, wusste ich, ich muss beschliessen, meine Reise fuer unbestimmte Zeit zu unterbrechen und mich im nahe gelegenen Municipal Campground nieder zu lassen. Zum Glueck mit funktionierendem Motorrad, dessen Problem unbekannt und nur voruebergehend ...

... Calgary, so I will be meeting some of the family and checkin out much of what the stampede has to offer and getting some good shopping done also. No Tim Mcgraw though, unless flashing the badges will get us in (hmmmmmm....prolly not). How is the new house treating ya? Any phone number yet? Hows the cottage haunting going?
