We left Cliffside about 7:30 Friday morning, stopped by Camping World for a new sewer hose, gassed up and hit the road. The crossing was painless. They asked if we had anything that we planned to leave in Canada and we said “No.” He ran our passports and registration through the system and sent us on our way with no other questions. I had programmed the GPS to take us to Hazelton, BC. Well there are obviously two places named Hazelton. One is somewhere near the Skagit Valley Provincial Park 30+ km up a gravel road with nowhere to turn around. Then it tried to take us up Hwy 3 instead of Hwy 1.

We finally got on Hwy 1 and headed north. This is certainly a land of lakes.

There were lots of RVs headed north. Amazingly there were also a lot of RVs headed south.
We stopped just north of Hope, BC and ate a late lunch/early dinner and watched part of the UT baseball game. While we were there someone told us we had a flat on the Jeep and offered to change it for us. We let him.

We drove to Boston Bar and stopped at Canyon Alpine RV Park for the night. It is a very well laid out park with large sites and full hookups. The only thing that would make it better would have been 50 amp service.

One town we went through boasted of the largest rod and reel in the world.

This is the Chamber of Commerce office in Houston--Alaska that is.

Saturday night we stayed in Quesnel, BC at the Airport Inn Motel and RV Park. It wasn't much to look at but the sites were long enough to accommodate us. Quesnel is just west of Bakersville - an historic town that we didn't have time to visit. Quesnel itself does have some interesting old buildings.

We stopped at a rest stop where I got this picture of a log jam at a bridge.

Hwy 1 follows a series of rivers as you go north.

There are scattered towns with old buildings. Hwy 1 is also called the Gold Rush Trail.

This was an interesting bridge over one of the rivers we followed.

There were many old pieces of machinery displayed around some of the towns we went through.

Tomorrow we travel to Hazelton, BC where we will meet our tour.
