Prince George, BC

Well, those of you following this will see that I missed Saturday, July 12.  I did actually type something and posted the pictures, only to run out of my data allotment at the motel we were staying at.  That's right - they only allow 100mb of data per 24 hours per room.  Plus there wasn't any TV. air conditioning, microwave or refrigerator.  To top it off it was $220 for the night.  What a rip off!  'Course it's the only place to stay, get gas, or eat within 300 miles.  We drove from Watson Lake, Yukon, to the resort - Bell 2 Lodge.  It doesn't have an address, just latitude/longitude numbers.  I tell you, we were out in nowhere with the mosquitos.  No kidding, there was a mosquito net over the bed.  Frustration aside, it was a lovely room and the bed slept well.  The mosquitos stayed outside, thankfully.
During the day on Saturday, I took lots of pictures of the landscape and a bear we saw along the road.  I will post them.
Today, Sunday, July 13, we drove 9 1/2 hours for 454 miles.  We did see another bear and a deer.  Got pictures of both and will post them as well.  You will notice that in both pictures the bear is walking away from us.  Guess that's good, but it makes a lousy picture.  There are also pictures of the different "flowers" growing along the edges of the road - or are they flowering weeds?  Either way, I thought they were pretty.
We are staying at Grama's Inn tonight and it has all the amenities we want and it's $120 cheaper - 'course we are down out to the mountains.  We began seeing farms again!  Mainly hay fields and cattle.
We have had two good days of sunshine and warmth.  It's good after all the rain.








Enjoy and talk to you later.
