THE DETAILS:
The day started rather warm and sunny but as we progressed
north it has become cloudy, and for the first time since leaving we drove in
rain for the better part of the day. Temps in the 50’s
250 miles/5 hours
Staying at the 3 G Hideaway RV Park in Fort Nelson, BC
Last night our campground was located in more of a gravel
parking lot that was close to the road. It became very quiet after 9 pm though
and was rather pleasant. But tonight we are parked under trees surrounded by
woods but a very popular place for big rigs. It’s laundry day so we were
pleased to find a nice cabin with laundry facilities attached to a nice gift
shop and a restaurant! Yes, we decided to treat ourselves to the
all-you-can-eat buffet while waiting for the laundry to wash & then dry. It
was truly a ‘day of rest’.
We started the day with watching our California church
service at 8 while drinking our coffee and then hit the road. By the time we
arrived at the camp site I had to change into jeans, boots and a rain jacket.
The road was easy to drive and a bit more interesting than it
has been with the scenery getting hillier and greener with lots of woods. But
there were very long sections of straight road where you could see for miles.
We are warned of deer and moose but only saw one deer and
a fox today. What we noticed most though was the smoke! We could
see the blue haze hanging in the air and could smell it in the car even with
the windows closed. There were also thousands of acres of burnt
trees due to past wildfires. It’s amazing to see that amount of land affected
by fire.
