July 1




Today we got an early start after another minor mechanical problem (tightened a fan belt on the motor home). We traveled to Chetwynd, BC. This town is the chain saw carving capital of the country and there are truly some amazing carvings at the visitor center and elsewhere around town. Along the way we saw our first bear along the highway, visited the beautiful Bijoux Falls at a rest area and started to see some beautiful mountains again. Thus far, since just after crossing into Canada there have been mostly rolling hills. The country has been awesome with lots of pine and other trees and rivers and streams but no real mountains. We also stayed at the Westwind commercial RV Park where we have wi-fi access for the first time in several days. Today was Canada Day which is a national holiday similar to the US July 4th. Since it gets dark so late the local fireworks display did not begin until 11:00 PM. It was short but sweet. (Editor's note: This wi-fi site does not seem to like uploads of any significant size so pictures will have to wait for later.)
