Dease Lk. Boya Lk. June 2nd - 6th

 The roads for the most part are fairly good, some frost heaves and pot holes but not too bad. Some spots are narrow, with no lane lines but still safe at 90km per hour. On the way to Dease Lk. caught up to a Fifth Wheel that was doing between 75 and 80 kph, the speed limit is 90kph. Finding a long straight stretch, I decided to pass him, I was just about up to his door when he decided to slide over into my lane. I got on the horn before he hit us and he woke up and got back in his lane. I am sure he was not paying attention and looking at the sights. I might add, there are no lane lines of any kind, so it is easy to kind of drift around a bit. Gets the old heart pumping.

We made it to the Lions campground on the Tanzilla River, it is about 10k from Dease Lk. After trying a couple of sites, I did manage to get into this one. They charge $10 a night. The other site we fit in was taken. We then went into Dease Lk to buy propane, with the cool weather, we are using a fair amount.

The next day, we drove 50k toward Telegraph Creek, that is about half way. I stopped for a few photos but there are a lot of trees in the way on most of the road.

Dease Lake
Next up Boya Lk PP.


Pat testing the water to see if it was warm enough to go swimming. lol
It was nice there, we decided to stay two nights, it was nice enough to have a campfire.
We are now in Watson Lake, fuel, shopping, laundry and more propane, sigh. We will only stay tonight then head for Teslin Lk. TP. Another one of our favourites. Can't remember if we get cell in Teslin, if not we will see you in Whitehorse.

Quesnel July 29th - 30th

 Ten Mile Lake PP is just north of Quesnel, we had stayed there on a previous trip. This is the only campground Pat could not recall, so we had to come back. Of coarse, it all came back to her as we drove down the entrance road. I haven't mentioned that most of these campgrounds have very few people in the  campground when we get there around one PM or so. This one was no exception. We found a nice spot and set up camp. Next day we went to Quesnel to check out the town. We have never stopped here all the times we have driven though. It is kind of spread out but not a bad town, they have everything you could want.  As it was Pat's birthday, she got to pick the place for lunch. Greek it was, souvlaki for her and baked spaghetti for me, both were very good. After lunch, we shopped around a bit and went back to camp. Next up Lac La Hache PP. Our route for the past few days. We will be in Lac La Hache till Mon. With the long weekend coming up, we did not want to take a chance...

Lac La Hache July 31st - Aug 4th

Image
 We arrived at Lac La Hache PP fairly early  so we had our pick of campsites, found one we liked and got set up. There are lots of big trees in the campground but spread out enough that you get lots of light. Our solar panels did not like the shade as much as we did, as it is finally hot in the afternoon. I have had to run the generator for two mornings now, the first time in three months.  Thursday, we went back to Williams Lake to do laundry, shopping and wash the truck, poor thing was filthy. Last time it got a hose down was Dawson City, I had to wash off the mud from the construction near Moose Creek.  Friday we went down to 100 Mile House and checked out the local Aero Clubs field. I took these pictures from just inside the gate, there was no one there. Look out for that power line, I am sure it has been hit a few times. We then went to check out Green lake, nice drive but not much to photograph. Or I am getting lazy.  Saturday we drove to Mahood Lake. I d...

Paul Lake - Kettle River Rec Site Aug. 5th - Aug. 10th

Image
 It is a nice drive from Lac La Hache to Paul Lake through hwy 24. Mostly we had our pick of sites, found one we liked and got set up. It was nice and warm, about 30deg, lots of solar for power. The trees are just high enough to give shade around the edges of the campsite. Just sat and read for the rest of the day. Tuesday, we went to Debbie's for lunch. Doug and Linda, from Whitehorse, were in town to pick up a new puppy from Pritchard. They were staying for most of the week. Phil, Sue and their grandson Jake, were there, they love the pool. Rob and Roberta from Salmon Arm dropped in as well. It was great to see everybody. After lunch, we went to Costco for propane and to resupply. Then Save On and back to camp.  Wednesday, we just hung around and basked in the sun. After we went in, we heard a crashing in the bush. No, not a bear, this guy. Didn't seem to mind getting his picture taken. He was chowing down on Saskatoon Berries. Had we been a week earlier, I would have picked...
