Another Long Day!

 July 7 – It was another long day!  We were on the road by 5:45 and it was a long day.  Not much change in the roads or scenery and you just don’t tire from seeing the beautiful tree covered and snowy mountains.  We saw a black bear, a fox and a porcupine on the drive today. 

We were driving like crazy as we were to either go to the campground and get into our spots and then meet at Cariboo Crossing Trading Post or drive there directly and park and drive to the campground after our visit.

All but 1 RV went to the campground first and what a cluster that was!  The spaces are on the narrow side and you are so close and you can’t always put your slides out.  Lots of trees to try and avoid hitting as well.  Most of us are on the same row and that’s an issue to all be trying to get settled.

So once we got parked, we doubled up with other couples to drive fewer cars.  That’s become the way we go sightseeing and to restaurants, etc.  The Wagonmasters were waiting for us as we were scheduled to have lunch there then visit their museum and see all of the animals.  It was OK but it was a long drive out there for a bbq chicken leg, mashed potatoes and slaw.  Oh, and a piece of crumb cake.  It was supposed to look like and “old town” with false face fronts and there was a petting zoo of sorts.  They had 2 alpacas, 4-5 baby goats, horses, and a lot of husky dogs.  You could go for a ride in a land rover pulled by huskies.  Those dogs get so excited and anxious to get out there and run.  When the dogs know the guy is getting the land rover ready ALL of them start barking “pick me, I wanna go”!  They probably had at least 50 dogs.  They had 10-12 pens on that back side of the property with kennels for all of the dogs.

The drive back was just a ride but we road with Dave and Donna and stopped along the road at another beautiful blue and green lake.  There was one guy on the lake and the water was so still.  Just beautiful.
