Vancouver to Lac la Hache, BC
Ready to go just after 9 am and headed to Carmen’s in Surrey for coffee. It was a great visit, almost 3 hours and we got to meet her granddaughter Leila. Her name is spelt a little different than our granddaughter, Layla. Once on the road we didn’t get far and the traffic was at a stand still near exit 264 Street. It took over half an hour to go about 10 km to Mt. Lehman Road where it looks like a semi went off into the ditch on the right hand side.

Traffic flowed well into Hope. Pulled
off into the truck stop on the highway, Flying J, which also has a Subway so a
quick lunch. Where the truckers fill up
is perfect for pulling through with an RV but we had to go in the car section which
pulls in towards the building then making it tight to turn around and get out. Driving through Hope we saw that the diesel
and gas was cheaper by a few pennies a litre. Love
travelling the Fraser Canyon, a great scenic highway. Very active train tracks, empty coal cars
heading north and two more trains heading in each direction. Tried raining but didn’t last long near Cache
Creek. In one field we passed 100-200 Canada Geese migrating. That will be one messy field. We stopped at Lac La Hache Prov. Campground and
when we paid we were told there were two other RV’s from Kitimat in the
campsite but we didn’t walk around to see who they were. It was dark by 7:30 pm. Gaining back time has made it darker sooner.
