On the Road Oh Canada!

Today was our first full day on the road after getting off the ferry Kennicoitt in Prince Rupert Thursday night.  We had a good ferry ride and the crew on the Kennicott were great.  There were not very many people aboard, so we got some individual attention.

Alaska State Ferry Kennicott - Our Ride South

We had a good night in Prince Rupert amid heavy rains and winds, but it was almost a nice day for our trip up the Skeena River.  We stopped in Terrace, BC to have lunch and watched parts of Goalies Gone Wild on TV.  Hocky fights during lunch--what a country!  It felt like there were a bunch of fights where hocky games broke out.  We made it to Smithers and found a good place to stay and even shopped at a Swiss/German Deli to get some snacks for the road and some licorice that Pamela was looking for.  Tomorrow it is on to Prince George to stay with some friends who recently retired from Juneau.  So far, so good!

Talk to you later,

Neil and Pamela
