CANADA – Prince Rupert / Prince George

July 31 Tuesday Arrived in Prince Rupert, British Columbia about 10am. We had reservations at the Prince Rupert RV Park which is only about a quarter mile from the port. First we had to go through Canadian customs. This will be the last time this trip that we will enter Canada. We have about 1,000 miles to drive to reach Seattle, Washington. We were tired from the ferry trip the night before, so we just crashed for a few hours and looked forward to being back on the road again in the morning. We won't do much except drive to the lower 48 in the next three days. Canada is expensive and we have turned off our cell phones as it is way too expensive to use them here. We did take a drive through Prince Rupert to see the town before heading back to the RV for dinner and bed. It rained heavily most of the night, but had let up by morning.

August 1 Wednesday We left the RV park about 8:30am and headed east on route 16. It was a nice drive, sunny most of the way and we even hit temperatures of 68 degrees as we approached Prince George. The road was good and we had some pretty views on the drive. As we drove into Prince George we saw two rainbows. We turned onto route 97 about 6pm and found an RV park, Bee Lazee RV Park, about 20 minutes from Prince George. We got the last spot, which was a good thing as Gary had been driving 10 hours! It seems nice to be on the road again after spending more than a week of riding the ferry.
