Awake at 0630.....happy that i was still alive. I called over to John, he was alive too!!! It started to rain....i snoozed for 30 inutes then it stopped and we packed up as quick as possible!!
A wet ride to Smithers (both John and i spent a lot of time saying 'Smithers'.....we both liked the Simpsons). We arrived at a wet Macdonalds, the meeting place.
Down the road, we stopped at a cool bridge where the town inhabitants were allowed to 'fish'..infact, all they did was dip nets or hooks into the river and pulled the Salmon out
The junction with the 37 arrived...here we turned north. People at gas station started telling us horror stories of the road ahead....John and i did not really take any notice, the Mexicans were a little more worried. Bears and gravel we were warned about.
Yes, we saw bears....and a bit of gravel. It was a lovely road...much less traffic. The day was spent doing lots of miles and stopping that looked at anything like a bear. I was fooled many times by distant black objects!!
We allstopped at a RV park - John and i put up tents and the Mexicans rented a cabin. It was next to a lake....and the long hours of sunshine was playing havoc with our time clocks. At 2300 we were not tired, so we walked down to the float plane...you can see uson the right of the picture...running to make it into the picture!!!!!
