Vanderhoof

Day 76, Tuesday, 9/1: Can’t believe it is already September!!! Up early and on the road by 8:30. Headed east and listened to an audio book. Still another sunny day and in the low 70’s. Decided to take a side trip and visit Historic Fort St. James which is north of Vanderhoof. It was well worth the trip… For the most part it is a replica of how it was in the 1890’s and each building has someone there in period costume to describe what the building was used for and answer any questions you might have. This place was established in 1806 by the Hudson Bay Company and became a major trading center for fur trappers, both First Nation and European. It was quite interesting. Driving back to Vanderhoof we encountered a heavy rain storm. By the time we got to Dave’s RV Park it had stopped, except for a few drops here and there. Can’t see blue sky but it has stopped raining. Very nice RV park and we have Wi-Fi and cable TV, the luxuries of life! Did they ever bury Michael Jackson??? And do we care???
