North to Alaska days,2,3,4,and 5


Ok, here is the update since we left Redding.Day 2 Stayed at Eugene Elks.
Day 3, Hit a lot of traffic in Portland and Seattle, stayed at Wen-berg State Park in Lakewood.

 Day 4, 60 miles to boarder near Abbots fords, BC answered all questions politely but got pulled over for a through search, I think Bob answered with too many No Sir's and Yes Sir's if you asked me.
 45 min later we are back on the road again to Hope, BC, took Hwy 97 North along the Frazier River canyon and stayed 40 mile of Cache Creek south at Skihist park,it was at least a 100 degrees we just got the air on and started to cool down when we almost burned down the park, when the box holding the generator caught fire. We put out and later checked to make sure the generator was still working, needless to say we didn't put it back on so the night was hot and long.

 Day 5 a day of lots of lakes the Frazier River along side of us and forests.
Drove through the towns of Cache Creek, Clinton, 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, Quesnel, and stayed in Hixon called Canyon Creek Campgrounds,right on the river, this place is so cute with all its flowers and nicknacks all around the park. So, for a total 262 miles and 6 hours. The drive it self was easy, great roads. I'm glad we stopped here it has wifi, slow but it works to check e-mails putting pictures on the blog not so good it is from a satellite. We will add pictures when we get another place with wifi, keep posted.
