We had a bit of a late start this morning. We waited until all of the Caravans left before we used the facilities and the gas pumps which worked out just fine. No waiting! The park was completely filled last night, and we were happy that they found spots for both of our coaches.
We started out on the Cassiar Highway and soon crossed the border into British Columbia. For a long time didn’t see any other motor homes in either direction. It was a slow but beautiful drive past lakes and mountains. We drove through a large area that had been devastated by a forest fire for several miles before we started seeing the beautiful green pines and birch trees. Five hours of being in the trees with nothing else around.
We did stop at “Jade City” for lunch before heading back on the Highway to our destination for tonight, Waters Edge Campground on Dease Lake. This is a very primitive campground with no water, sewer, or electricity. It’s beautiful, right on the Lake and even if it’s sprinkling a bit, we are happy with this place. There really aren’t too many places on the Cassiar Highway to stop or to get gas which makes it a great alternative to the busy ALCAN.
We are only here for one night, and we need to run our generators to cook and keep warm. It’s supposed be 35 degrees tonight. I’m glad I have my fur coat on.
