Day 77, Wednesday, 9/2: Woke to another beautiful sunny day! This RV park is one of the best and the couple who own it are very nice. We decided to do a load of laundry while we were here and didn’t head down the road until about 11:30. Possibly driving to Barkerville today so may not have Wi-Fi until next Monday. We should have cell service though since we are now in BC.
We got to Prince George just after noon and did a bit of shopping at the Canadian Tire Store. They have all kinds of things like camping equipment, sporting goods, house wares, automotive, etc. Had planned to find a grocery store but didn’t see one along the highway we were on and then we got into road construction… We finally stopped at an small RV park about 10 kliks north of Quesnel. The plan is to drive into town in the morning, buy a few groceries and then take the side road to Barkerville. It was quite warm today (mid-80’s) and a bit humid. The shelves that Bob built to hold the batteries in the trailer were coming apart so he has spent some time repairing.
We noticed that after we left Prince George going south the vegetation became very brown and dry. Learned there is a provincial-wide ban on campfires now in this area and we probably won’t be able to have one at the Barkerville campground either. Everyone says it has been an extremely dry summer and there are still some fires burning in the lower part of BC. We also heard it is supposed to rain which is OK since they obviously need it.
