Canada's No Sense Approach or Day 17

Ok, let me start with Canada Common Sense approach. We have landed back at Swan Lake Campground in Fraser Lake, BC. As luck would have it we scored #1, Venable's scored #2. And right know Jeff is using a hammer and pounding on something metal.





Anyway, let's get back to the common sense approach. Notice the photos below? Well there is a dock that was rehabilitated back to it's glory in 2005. As you can see Dakota and I walked on it to the end. This is similar to 2015 where it was Susan, Tilly Della and me. At the end of the dock is a ramp leading down to the water. What they did was put 2, 2x10 to block the entrance down. Notice how easy it would be to climb over.






Now in the states, they would install a 10 ft chain link fence, along with cameras, alarms and what not. Well here in BC, check the final photo. Canadians figure if you don't have enough sense then it is not their issue. They warned you.


I call this pretty funny.

Anyway, let's carry on with the report as to how and why we got where we are. The last one sent out we were in Jasper, AB, staying at a National Park exactly 2 spaces from 2015, except this time, it was calving season. The females were off somewhere doing their birthing and we did not see too many elks.




On the Saturday we arrived we droved into town, stopped had dinner with a lovely couple from Ontario who invite
d us to share their table.

Prior to dinner, we spied a car show taking place, which gave us a few photo ops. 





The next day, Sunday, we boarder the SkyTram and went to the top of the Mountain for some amazing views and Brunch.

Sunday night, wait, there is no night. At 10pm it's the same as 5pm. Anyway, goal is to get up early and head to Prince George. Where we will meet up with Jeff and Linda, and travel together for awhile. 






We arrived at the Casino, I thought it was a good idea, based on the reports I read. Not so, as Monday afternoon rolled in, here came all the big rigs. 



Just what is Molted Sulfur - All within 30 yards of us
Molten Sulfur is a FLAMMABLE SOLID and a fire and explosion risk above 450 oF (232 oC). Sulfur is a COMBUSTIBLE SOLID. Use water spray to fight fires and to keep fire-exposed containers cool. POISONOUS GASES ARE PRODUCED IN FIRE, including Hydrogen Sulfide, Sulfur Dioxide and Sulfur Trioxide.



Next time, we will stay at a place I found and refueled 40Km's east of PG. 



Anyway, we have been inside Canada since June 7th, on DaRoad since Sun May 28. Total 17 days.
