Day 75, Monday, 8/31: Woke to more beautiful sunshine this morning! Left camp about 9:00 and headed to town. They have the best visitor’s center we have seen on this trip. It is along the waterfront and we didn’t have a problem with parking. Lots of brochures and maps of the entire northwest of Canada. We were impressed! Strolled along the waterfront area called Cow Bay. Obviously, everything is painted in a cow theme and it is a nice district with little shops and places to eat. After spending some time in the shops we decided to eat at Smiles Café. It has been around since the ‘30’s and served lots of troops during WWII, both Canadian and American. There were 2,000 American’s stationed here at that time. Bob had halibut fish and chips and I had a seafood basket, very good but too much to eat! After that, we headed out of town back toward the junction where we fueled before. Fueled again and headed east toward Prince George. Stopped at a provincial park called Seeley Lake, a small campground right off the busy road on the lake. Found a nice level spot and we had a great campfire. Quite a few people came in after us, small rigs mostly and some tents.
The traffic on the highway was a bit noisy but by the time we went to bed it had quieted down.

hope you enjoyed Hwy 16 and stopped at K'san.
Smithers, my old home town , is an RV friendly place.
Enjoy Barkeville, hope they fixed the road. It was rough the last time we were there in 2007.
When visiting the Okanagan one must learn to spit or have a designated driver!!!!!
An interventionist is a guide to recovery when somebody develops any kind of addiction involving alcohol, drugs, gambling, eating disorders, the internet or a combination of two or more.
Gee. Intervention? I think the most addictive part of this trip was the fantastic view and the people of the north. If that is an addiction, let there be more of it. Please do not intervene in that. ;-)
