The haul to northern BC and the Yukon has officially begun! We logged some serious miles after getting off the ferry in Vancouver and made our way north to Emory Bar RV Park. We collapsed into bed only to be woken every 20 minutes by train whistles and roaring transport trucks which were 100m from our home in the camper. The tri-fecta: river, road, railway!
Despite the sleepless night, we got back on the road again the next morning to check out Hell's Gate en route to Lac La Hache just past 100 Mile House. We traveled through the Fraser and Thompson River Canyons with surreal landscapes which varied from a humid forest to an arid plateau.
We arrived in Lac La Hache and spent the next day lounging around in the sunshine. The girls went swimming in the cool waters of the lake and then hopped in the boat to go fishing with Daddy. They both caught Kokanee Salmon, but Heidi chose to release hers while Nicole wanted to eat her fish for dinner. (Heidi is a bigger fan of burgers than salmon.) They both got a great anatomy lesson while Mark cleaned and gutted the fish. Nicole gobbled up her dinner and had no problems eating the fish she caught just an hour before. It was delicious!
While Mark and I were packing up the camper and boat, the girls made fast friends with our new neighbours' Yorkshire Terriers. They took them for a walk, played with them and fed them treats. They decided that a 10 lb dog is the perfect size for little girls!
