Last night’s view in today’s light.
This place has to be right up there for awesome RV Parks we’ve ever stayed in. It’s wonderful. We’ve already extended.
Thursday
We turned right. We just haven’t had enough of Canada yet, so we drove through Vancouver to Horseshoe Bay, got on the BC ferry boat for a two-hour ride, got off at Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, and drove north to Courtenay along the east coast of the island. A long day of travel for not that many kilometers.
Seal Bay RV Park; it’s a pretty good looking park. We arrived late and got set up just in time for this evening light.

Tuesday
Most times black bears don’t seem very big. This one today however, was different. On the afternoon walk up a hill, my first impression of this animal was that it was a black angus in the next pasture.
He was big; different from the little females we’ve been seeing; just walking along parallel to my course.
He walked across the field and disappeared into this small swale of brush.
A person could walk right up to a patch of brush like that without even knowing there was a bear in it.
He didn’t take great interest in me, but he did take notice.
Walked yesterday at a park full of cottonwood trees in Prince George. Saw this interesting, and a little creepy, carving.
And a black fox.
Drove south on the Cariboo Highway to Lac La Hache, halfway to Vancouver.

New road. Now we’re on the Cassiar Highway; headed south. The scenery is not as dramatic as yesterday. Less rugged mountain peaks and more rolling round mountains. More golden.
Mountain Shadow RV Park. We’ve heard from several people that this is the nicest RV park on the entire Alaska trip.
They could be right.
3,278 miles to Sandpipers.
Thursday August, 31,
Skagway morning light.
3,680 miles to Sandpipers.
Again, ridiculous scenery.
Boondocked for the night at Swift River, Yukon.
3,460 miles to Sandpipers.
