Slooowww internet

The internet in Canada and at RV parks in general is really slow.  I worked for 2 hours to upload photos last night and then I got kicked off with no photos uploaded.
Other than that the trip is going well.  We spent last night at Fort Nelson.  We saw 3 bears along the road yesterday.  That was exciting.  The scenery is beautiful.  Eventually I hope to get some photos up so you can see some of what we are seeing.
We woke up to rain this morning.  Hope to get out of it as we go east.

Quesnel B. C.

Today we stopped and walked around the town of Quesnel.  It is a fun town.  The bridge was built for horse/wagon to cross the Frazier River.  Is now a nice foot bridge.  The reason we stopped is that Garnet had read about their 23 painted fire hydrants.  We thought this was the cutest, though we saw lots of fun art.
Tonight we are camped just outside Prince George. 

Day 4

 Here is Gary at our primo camping spot on Okanagan Lake.  The drive today was through beautiful country.  Lakes, rivers, mountains.

We met up with Ken and Garnet in Clinton, BC. in time for lunch.  Relaxing and sharing thoughts on the next move. 

Day 3

We are in Canada.  A day late but we are now moving along.  Long story short, the work we had done on the wheel bearings in Richland was not done properly so we had a bearing go out in Ritzville.  We now have our very own Les Schwab story.  We spent an extra day in Ritzville but had an enjoyable time.  My cousin, Jeffery from California was visiting my Mom so got to have a nice visit with him. 
I was concerned about the border crossing but it went smoothly. We spent the night in a Provincial Park on Okanagan Lake.  A nice relaxing place after a rather hectic start to the trip.

Day 1

Day one started out with a bang.  We traveled from home to Ritzville to visit with sister Carol, mother Eileen, and California cousin Jeffery.  On the way from town out to the farm Gary noticed smoke coming from the axle of the trailer.  After an hour or so trying to get the bearing nut off, Gary gave up and we limped back into town to a repair shop.  Bottom line, the bearing failed and the heat caused the bearing to weld to the axle so now we need a new axle.  So instead of leaving from Ritzville Tuesday morning, it will now be Wednesday around noon.  So frustrating because we had the bearings checked out and repacked with grease before we left home.  We are enjoying the extra time visiting with Jeffery and will go to Spokane today.  Maybe an extra unexpected visit with the grandkids.

Off to Alaska

Almost ready.
This is a test to see if we can remember how to post a blog.
