Prince George to Smithers (231 miles)
Not so much traffic jams as log jams on these roads!
The last two days have been 233 and 231 mile stages, mainly along wide open valleys, the Fraser yesterday, the Bulkley today. However, driving is relatively easy on these open highways with long straight stretches of road. The picture below is typical of the rolling open areas between the hills and mountains.
Having arrived at Smithers, B.C. the sun came out for our usual walk round the area,
and as you can see spring is in full swing in the valleys, although there is still plenty of snow on the mountains.
We are staying at a Sandman Inn tonight; once again internet connection is readily available..
Thats all for now, a bath & a G&T (or 2) calls....
