Day 79, Friday, 9/4: Woke to some clearing in the sky. Decided to unhook the trailer and take the camper off the truck so we could have transportation in case it rains again. We drove back down the highway to the Cottonwood House which is an historic road house on the Cariboo Wagon Road. We had visited here before too but it has changed somewhat. The government decided they didn’t want to spend money to run it so the school district took it on and they have high schools kids doing everything. It is only open in the summer months anyway and gives them good experience. You can take a tour of the road house, visit the barns and there is a ‘general store’ that sells food (breakfast and lunch items and baked goods). The kids do all of the baking and cooking. They give the tours and sell things in the gift shop. It is quite an operation. On the way back to the campground we stopped at various pullouts with signage about the history of the area. Stopped in Wells to speak with the RCMP about where we can ride an ATV but the one and only RCMP officer was out. The office person said he might stop by our campsite later.
We had been back to camp about a ½ hour when our friends arrived. Andy, Sandy, and Xander and Sheldon, Carol and Christopher, plus Ulu and Tipper, their dogs. It was really great to see them again. Xander just graduated from high school and Christopher is going into Junior year. Both families have Arctic Fox RV’s, one a 5th wheel and one a trailer, and they had visited us about two summers ago in Cove. Some of the AFP’s (Arctic Fox People). We had some beer and wine and enjoyed the evening visiting and just having fun! Did a pot luck dinner but couldn’t have a campfire as there is currently a ban on them in southern BC. Didn’t matter though we still had a great time!
