Prince George to Hope, BC - September 21, 2010

Today is Michelle’s birthday but I didn't try to call or email again because I haven't been able to contact her for some time now.  I guess we'll catch up along the way at some point. 

We lit out for Hope B.C. this morning knowing it was to be a 10 hour drive or so but since we laid over in Pr. George an extra day thought it was prudent to have a long day on the road today.  It was a pretty uneventful day driving through a lot of pretty country.  I also had pretty good company on board (Betty, Squatty, and Tiger Lily).  We had good snacks that kept the boredom away as well as us on our low carb diet.  I'm relearning that its a better day when the destination is less important than the journey. 

We arrived in Hope about 6:30 pm and got a pull thru site at Holiday RV park on the Vancouver side of Hope. This is a cramped park in terms of navigating to a site.  Big trees and a sort of dark damp area.  It has a good 30A service, water, cable (we don’t have a coax aboard but will get one later), and sewer hookup.  The bathrooms and showers are a health hazard, old, and smell like mildew.  This is a good place to overnight and get going in the morning.  I wouldn't be taking a break from the road very long here.  


This park is in a good location for a morning run to the Sumas boarder crossing and back to America.  The wi-fi here is so weak it won’t really work for us and our MiFi couldn't get a signal either.  Another day out of touch with those we miss so much.  DRW
