The Big Trip - Mount Currie to Prince George

258 km - Just the other side of Pemberton we approached an area of what we thought was construction, but turns out the road was flooded. We made it through and would be once again flying down the highway if we weren't behind a school bus.

We were behind this bus for miles.

Lillooet Lake Rodeo.

345 km - We just entered Lillooet, "B.C.'s Little Nugget." It's a pretty crazy drive to here from Pemberton. I am amazed by the rivers here. We crossed Cayoosh Creek on one-way bridges four times on the way here; I'm not sure of the difference between a creek and a river, but Cayoosh should be a river. The mountains here are also awe-inspiring and there is almost no human development to get in the way of your views.

I miss B.C.

353 km - 508 km to Prince George. It's going to be a long day. Ouch.

430 km - Finally off of 99 and on to 97. Prince George here we come!

771 km - Finally 'the guy' played the Beatles. Brenda's torture has ended. We are tied at 3. This note needs some explanation. 'The guy' is my mp3 player and we had a competition to see who could pick which band 'the guy' would play next, it was on random play the whole trip. Brenda had the Beatles picked for most of this day, and there were more Beatles songs on 'the guy' than anything else so she got pretty angry when it didn't play any for most of the day.

878 km - We made it. It is the morning now and we are at Jessie's. We covered almost 800 km yesterday, that should be the longest day of our trip.

We decided to lighten the Loon's load and ship some stuff to Barrie.

894 km - Today we went to Exploration Place which is P.G.'s museum. I learned lots more here than I did at Science World, but Brenda and Jessie mostly just played with waterboat toys.

Okay, I played too.

901 km - Delicious! We just came back from an incredible meal at Shōgun, the Japanese restaurant at Jessie's hotel. I think it was the best beef I've ever tasted. It blows my mind that now two of the best meal's I've ever eaten have been in Prince George. How can a town look so lousy but taste so good? Big thanks to Jess for taking us out and thanks to all the great staff at Coast Hotels.

Our awesome chef Andy lights it up.

Thanks Jess!

Ending the night at Jess's place.
