Beyond Hope and Closer to Our Destination

Actually, we made it to Hope.  Hope, British Columbia that is.  We had a good drive into Prince George on Sunday, saw the world's largest fly rod in Houston, BC and had good weather all the way into Prince George.  We also saw the largest gold pan and the largest something else.  Seems to be a pattern here in BC.

Houston, BC - Biggest Fly Rod (for Dave Harris)

We stayed with a Forest Service colleague who also retired this year who have a wonderful place north of Prince George, BC.  We had a great visit and meals with Wini and Warren and got on the road for our longest drive today.

We covered about 390 miles today and had all kinds of weather, including snow, sunshine and blowing rain.  We are glad that we got over the passes during daylight and that the 35 mph rain did not hit us in the Fraser Canyon.  It is always good to have some Hope!  It was a very long day for us and we should make it to Silverdale to visit Neil's folks by dinner time on Tuesday.  We sure hope that US Customs doesn't make us go through everything in the back of the pickup.  We haven't opened it since Juneau, but you never know.

Wish us luck!
