Nugget City to Boya Lake

Day 67, Sunday, 8/23: Got up early and drove to a place called Nugget City, about 42 kliks down the road. It is an RV park, store, café and some cabins. Very nice and we had breakfast there. On to the junction for fuel and then south on the Cassiar Highway. There were quite a few motor homes at the fueling station, part of a tour group, and they were also going south to Dease Lake. Some major road construction for awhile on this road, very muddy and potholes. It is still raining…. Pulled into one of our favorite spots from a previous trip, Boya Lake, and found a good campsite right on the lake. We think it is the same spot we camped in the last trip (9 years ago!) because we are on a peninsula with a place to pull the boat in. Unloaded the boat, the RZR, set up the screen tent and unloaded firewood. We are here for at least 3 days, maybe more, depending on weather, etc. It is a BC Provincial Park and is $15 a night but you have to buy firewood. Fortunately, we have plenty… The campground operator is very nice and has her grandson helping out. He is going to bring us a map of the lake to use when we take the boat out. The lake is a beautiful aqua color. Just wish it would stop raining!!!!!!! Not exactly warm either, high of 50 today. We did bring plenty of warm clothing and can sit in the screen room and not spend all our time in the camper. Did a major clean-up inside the trailer, repacking some of the bins. Had time for a nap too!
