Day 24
Got up after a good night’s sleep. Donna went over to the office to download the
new blog. Andy and I got the RV ready to
go. Headed back on the Alaska Highway towards Watson Lake. Weather was a little
dreary so picture taking was slow. About
30 miles from Watson Lake we took the Cassiar Highway towards Prince
Rupert. Stopped at Jade City so Donna could look at
some of the jade products. Around 2 pm the weather cleared and made the drive
much more enjoyable. At Dease Lake we
stopped gassed up and hit the grocery store. Stopped by the Tanzilla River and
ate dinner very nice. Started to see some nice scenery, again! Ha! Ha! We have been reading about the beetle
infestation in British Columbia. Today
you could really see the damage. We
posted a few pictures and hope you can see the damage. There were thousands and thousands of acres
of damage that we have been seeing all over Canada. Got to our camp ground around 6ish, it has been
the nicest RV park so far. The view is spectacular.

ANDY’S REPORT:
Went for a walk with dad and then we got the house
ready. Mom finally showed up and had
some sandwiches. Took off down the road.
Road was a little bumpy for a while and the house kept going from side
to side. Made it little hard to take a napper.
Stopped at some place with lots of big rocks. Dad and I walked around. We made a stop and the peeps went
inside a food house. Came back and off we went again. Stopped at a moving water
place and dad made macarooni and cheese. Got a few nibbles. We then arrived at
the place with lots of moving houses. The peeps took me for a walk to a water
place. Saw some big white thing, thought it was going to get us, so I had to
give it a bark. I bet you could hear
that one a long way. I could. Back to the moving house and off to bed.
Goodnight.

| Do I smell dinner? |
 |
| Another new place, more new smells at the Tanzilla River |
 |
| Woof! Woof! I'll get the big white monster! |

| Did the white thing get you dad? |
The damage to the forests is incredible and sad to see. The section of Cassiar Highway was bizarre. Did you actually have to travel on that??
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of rates were you paying at the campgrounds ... just curious. I generally boondock everywhere I go and have never really stayed at campgrounds.
Are there many boondocking places along the Alaska Highway between Dawson Creek and say into Fairbanks?
