Day 122 Lac la Hache, BC to Kitimat, BC - Home Again

Wed., Sept. 18

Lac la Hache Prov. Campground to Kitimat - Home Again

Crisp and cool but the sun is shining.  Fog over the lake but no other clouds in the sky driving north, gorgeous morning!  We turned on the heated seats, oh that feels better.   
Leaving Lac la Hache
Hwy 97 N to Williams Lake
Quesnel
West Fraser Mills in Quesnel going strong, closed in Kitimat in Jan 2010!
Prince George Cops for Cancer
Listening to CBC we heard distressing news that Jelly Fish are spreading!  Did you know that Jelly Fish range from peanut size to 400 kg!!   Then we listened to the Debaters, that is always good for a laugh.  Just before Prince George we saw the usual cows, horses, llamas, bison but in a field we thought we saw Ostriches?  Too big for Canada Geese!  Farming Ostriches?  
Fraser Lake-Piper's Glen
Broman Lake Rainbow
Houston
Hungry Hill east of Smithers
Hudson Bay Ski Hill
This is why we live in the North West; it is beautiful, clean and rugged.  So many options for the enthusiastic outdoors; hiking, fishing, biking, camping, skiing and more!  We thought we would make it home in the sun but the closer we got to Terrace the clouds got heavier and grey.   What a fantastic trip, travelling with the Bogaert’s for 103 days, great sights and history lessons.
