Prince George, BC
Saturday, June 19th
I dropped MA off at "The Bay" (The Hudson Bay Company) dept. store where she visited the hair salon. Meanwhile I finally found the Starbucks. They did not even know what "wireless Internet access" meant, much less have it installed in their location. So, after a quick trip the Home Depot, I drove down to Fort George Park and walked barefoot thru the park watching kids play in the water fountains and hundreds of families enjoying a beautiful sunny day on the banks of the Fraser River. I had previously researched where other wireless hotspots might be and had noted that the Coastal Hotel had one. So, to the Coastal I went...set up in their lobby and connected right away (previous update).
I picked MA up and gassed up at 96.5/liter ($2.73 USD per gallon). We are now headed west on Hwy 16 toward Prince Rupert, BC, our jumping off point for the Alaska Marine Highway. We stopped for dinner at Tony's Kitchen in Fraser Lake, BC and we both enjoyed really excellent Chinese food. Turns out that "Tony" is a fairly recent emigre from China and adopted the western nickname. Drove on to Burns Lake, BC where we spent the night in the free municipal campsite right beside the lake. Very tight quarters where maneuvering a motorhome can test one's marriage.
