The previous two days (Days 10 & 11) have been some of
the most tedious, monotonous, brain-numbing, insanity-inducing driving of the
trip. Day 10 felt like Groundhog
Day: a 300-mile drive on Route 16 to get
to a washed-out Route 37, followed by a 300-mile drive back to Prince George to
sleep in the parking lot of a Canadian Tire store (Canada’s version of Home
Depot). Day 11 wasn’t much better: driving north on a busy 2-lane road through a
ton of construction to get to a crammed RV park too late to fix dinner. By the end of these days, I was ready to buy
a plane ticket to Alaska if I’d been given the choice. Fortunately I wasn’t, because Day 12 was packed
with gorgeous scenery, tasty food, smooth roads, light traffic and diverse
wildlife.

The following is a sampling of some of the scenery we drove
through. I’m no professional
photographer, but I am getting better at taking pictures out the window of a
moving vehicle. Unfortunately, a road
sign or antenna occasionally makes its way into my pictures. I’m not very happy about it, but it’s better
than asking the boys to slow down the truck, which is like asking a bear to
regurgitate a GPS. It doesn’t usually
work, and then I have to get out my big stick.
