Day 3 Aug 14
Last night we stopped south of Prince George at Mama Yeh RV site - advertised widely as 'a beautiful provincial parklike setting...' Not quite so - it was a gravel pad in a scrubby yard, next to the highway, with portapotties!!! The no-see-ums and wasps were plentiful. Oh well, can't win em all.
PG was thick with smoke this am, but farther north it cleared. Through the Pine Pass, most northerly crossing of the Rockies, and only 933 m in elevation, it was beautiful and clear. And now we are in the north - all rivers flow into the Arctic ocean from here.
We stop at Moberley Lake PP north of Chetwynd. The wind is keeping the wasps down, but whipping up the lake. We take a quick dip in a very splashy lake, and enjoy our evening campsite.
Today's tally: a lovely mama bear and 2 small cubs who crossed the highway in front of us, 2 osprey, Stellar's jays, a red necked grebe, and a surprising bird - what we think might be a red necked Phalarope (not known to come inland) at Bear Lake PP.
