As we drove back past Pink Mountain where we stayed just after joining the Alaska Highway, I realized how comfortable we both are now in taking the RV on difficult roads. On the way north I clung to the arms of my seat as we went up and down over passes and around tight corners. I actually look at the scenery now. Rick is able to back into most spots without any trouble. It is just great.We turned onto a new road - BC29 - just before getting to Fort St. John. It took us into the "Peace River Valley." The road was newly repaved and very smooth. However, there were some pretty steep ups and downs so it is good that we are "experienced" drivers now. The valley is just beautiful. The Hudson Bay Company put a large trading post at Hudson's Hope. It was the third settlement in all of British Columbia.
We were hopeful that the campground would b empty of construction workers since we were so off the beaten path. However, we found it to have quite a few seasonal workers. It was right along the river with beautiful views and very quiet. There were no trees at the sites, but many along the back and a nice breeze to cool things down. The heat is coming. It was 86 today.
