Lac La Hache July 31st - Aug 4th

 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 did take some photos there. The campground is very nice, lots of sites close to the lake. Many miles of wash board gravel and dusty. Not a place we would want to take our trailer.




Our route.
Tomorrow, we head for Paul Lake PP, no cell service there. We will take Hwy 24 to Little Fort, then down #5 to the lake. About the same time as going through Cache Creek but hopefully less traffic and I don't have to go through Kamloops.

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...

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

 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...
