We left Dawson Creek yesterday and after driving 400 miles we were still unable to get out of the smoke from the forest fire that's to the southwest (Williams Lake -- there's another one a little northwest on the Cassiar Highway). We stopped in a little town called McBride at a very nice RV park that is all grass and it's right beside Fraser River. This valley is situated between the Cariboo Mountains and northern tip of the Rocky Mountains. The views are supposed to be gorgeous, but with all the smoke it's a little hard to tell. We just listened to some CBC news and this smokes goes all the way east to Calgary, Alberta, so it doesn't look like we'll be driving out of it for a few days.
We opted to spend another night here after the long drive yesterday -- we like to keep it under 300 miles, but out here you have to go with what's available, too. Twice yesterday we turned around and went back for gas when we read how far it was to the next "services available" and we're both glad we did!
So I may be relaxing and taking it easy, but Wayne is in the process of rewiring the TV and all it's various antennas. There are local channels available where we are, but we are unable to receive them -- so he's troubleshooting the problem.
When we had Ziva groomed in Anchorage, I didn't notice at the time that they left the hair on her front legs longer and I think it looks like she's wearing legwarmers!
