We have internet this morning. Last night it didn't work which always seems to be the case. We got gas yesterday and it seems someone ciphoned gas on us because we spent $90 and we only drove 165 miles. We're going to look into a gas cap that locks. Not good.
I have a big problem here with my Diet Coke. Maybe I'll be like Barb and give it up while I'm on my trip. There are no gas stations that you can get a fountain drink at. My that I mean ice and a drink you do yourself. They have a whole counter of coffee and slurpie but no regular drinks. We even went to an A&W and they gave me a drink with no ice. When I asked for ice they said they didn't have any. Instead they gave me a frosty mug. Dad also has a problem with his iced tea. He never orders it in Canada because he knows it will be sweetened.
We saw something interesting last night when we stopped yesterday. A couple (husband and wife) that were camping with us were on bicycles. They are going to Mexico. They started in Victoria Island. They expect to be in Mexico in November. Can you believe it??? We also saw a couple with a little boy riding a tandem bike. It looked like they were long distance. I can't believe that they were but who knows.
We had a couple of very interesting experiences yesterday. One was we saw a bear up close and personal. He was right along the roadside. That's the closest we've seen one yet.
The other experience we had was riding on the Usk Ferry. It's kind of hard to explain but I'll try. It's called a reaction ferry because it reacts to the currents of the river. It's on the Skeena river which has strong currents. It powers across on cables. We got there just in time to take it and got to find out all about it. There are only 4 left in British Columbia (BC). When the river is frozen they go across to the other side on cables. It goes from one side of the river to the other. We got to go for free.
this is the time of year the salmon are running and everyone along the Skeena is fishing. Right now wer're in the campgroung getting ready to go into Prince Rupert to look around. It's raining as it has been off and on all morning. We've had great weather up to now.
Love, Mom
