Travels through BC

Still in Canada.  We waited to enter the country till Dick Cheney left office.  Otherwise Homeland Security would have added us to the Terrorist Watch List by now.

After four days of driving thru rain, we stopped for a break at Whiskers Point Provincial Park, north of Prince George, BC.  Dry camping in a lovely site on McLeod lake.

Come to think of it, we've seen rain almost every day since we left Park Sierra, with the exception of this day in the park. Long term forecast as of today - "Rain."  Enough already!

One complication tho.  The description on the BC Parks web site lists a dump station.  Upon our arrival, we learned that the park closed it two years ago. 

Uh oh, we had three days of effluent and a three mile 8 - 10 grade hill (steep!) before us.  Thus we took a 36 mile RT detour to MacKenzie, the only place with a dump station before that hill.

Serendipity is our copilot.
