Tootle to Terrace

Some sleuthing on Trusted House Sitters found us a dog sit in Terrace, where J's parents live. The roads were horrible from Chetwynd to PowderKing 😱. Packed snow and super ice. We even got to do a little fish tail despite going 30% below the posted speed! Weeeee! Our plan to split the long drive over two days was a good one due to our slower speed. We stayed in Smithers.

In Hazelton we zigged over to Hagwilget for a walk across the bridge. It's an impressive feat to see how the early bridges crossed such a high space. 😲

The week was filled with relaxing time at the hosts' Lakelse Lake property for a few nights before staying in town. We had many dinners with the parents, walks, a couple runs between the constant drizzle of rain drops, and of course caring for sweet Millie and Cinder. J ventured on plan his own to the school band performance and endured the sounds of young folks learning how to find their tune. 🙉

On our return drive we stopped by the parents' Francois Lake property for a night. BBQ burgers and a fun night of darts around the woodstove.

One night's rest in Prince George was an experience. The Coast Hotel used to be comfortable, but is now showing its age 😔 We enjoyed a lazy night-in with takeout pizza and wings while watching a movie 📺🍕😜 The final drive home had much better roads over the Pine Pass.Read more
