Day 16 Thursday, 7/2: Left camp around 9:00 and headed to Fort Simpson. At the junction of Hwy 1 and Hwy 7 the road to Fort Simpson turns to pavement and about 60 km up the road is the Liard River Ferry. Seems odd that they would pave just that section of road! Staying in the Provincial Park here. Went to the visitor center and checked e-mails but it was extremely slow so we didn’t try to send any. They had a computer set up for people to use. Will try again when we get to Fort Nelson, probably on Saturday. It rained pretty much all night and all day today! Our truck/camper and trailer are covered in mud and we are hanging out in the trailer where the computer is. The RZR is out so if it ever stops raining we can go for a spin around town…. We heard it is supposed to clear up in 3 or 4 days J There was a brief break in the weather so we took the RZR around the village. We felt like a one man parade because everyone was staring at us and smiling broadly! Guess they had never seen anything like it!!!! (The RZR or us, I’m not sure which….)
Another interesting thing about this park, we parked near the showers and discovered a propane truck filling the propane tank (not surprising), then a ‘honey bucket’ truck showed up to empty the sewer, followed by a water truck to fill the water tank! No underground pipes here… Freeze level is 12 to 14 feet down.
