We started our journey yesterday travelling to the northern region of BC. Traffic was somewhat heavy along our route and we saw many broken down vehicles along the way. We stopped in Merritt at Kekuli Cafe – the only reason to to stop in Merritt – bannockwiches, yum. As we left Merritt the air quality became progressively worse due to the fire in Kamloops.
We finally arrived at Lac La Hache for our first night. Jeff had said that it’s a buggy place that’s why it’s just for the night. Boy oh boy, lots of mosquitoes for sure. Harry didn’t like the mosquitoes and was snapping at them. As I was making our bed, I noticed that the vent was open – unusually very open…. Apparently we lost the air vent cover – how or where we don’t know. After all that unpacking and organizing, we were all feeling hot and icky so we headed down to the lake to cool off. Unfortunately we couldn’t convince Harry to join us in the water.. so much for being a poodle that are water dogs. We managed to carry him in to a few inches of water, he seemed a tad more relaxed but we haven’t got to the doggy paddle stage.
This morning we back tracked our journey to go to the RV supplies store to buy a vent cover and a few other items. This unfortunately set us back by a couple hours and it would make it quite difficult to get to Hazelton at a decent time. Plan B was to spend the night at Beaumont Provincial Park, nope, that didn’t work out. Plan C, um, don’t know. Fortunately with the help of Google we found the White Swan Municipal Campground in the Fraser Lake area. Big open space with a view and free. Hardly any bugs too!
We are now settled in and waiting for the BBQ chicken and corn for dinner. Should be a better sleep tonight. Tomorrow we will make our way to Terrace.
