Tyhee Lake Provincial Park

There are not as many photos today since it rained all day. It was raining when we woke up, so we got dressed and headed to Tim Hortons, which is Canada's morning coffee and breakfast chain. We had coffee, a breakfast sandwich, and a hash brown patty and then headed back to get the camper.

We stopped at a couple of community visitor centers along the trip to use the bathroom and get area information.

Today, the highway was much busier. One information person told us the route from Prince George to the coast is a major transportation route. It still was nothing like driving on one of the busy interstates in the US. Most of the truck traffic was logging rigs, delivering huge logs to the saw mills.

We found our campsite in the rain, dropped off the camper and went to Smithers to find a quiet dry place for a cup of coffee. We asked at the visitor center and we're told of a "used book store" which made me think of the old show "Portlandia". We both had a double expresso con leche (coffee and hot milk). Instead of being quiet, there was a loud conversation between an older woman and another local about a diverse run of topics starting with how he buys and fixes up junk cars for resale to the name and how to pronounce a local river to the use and/or overuse of Indian spices in cooking. (Really made me think of Portlandia!) We finished our coffee and headed for the quiet of our campground.

It has stopped raining. The campsite host came by and will bring firewood later. There are showers and electricity so we are set for the night. Tomorrow about 220 miles tp Stewart, CA, and Hyder, AK.Read more
