Northward Ho!!!! (Seattle to Prince George, BC)




Day 1
Mileage: 574
Wildlife: deer, bear
We left this morning a little after 6:00 am. It was dark and raining, and it continued to rain on and off throughout the entire day. We made it through the border without incident (although Neil got really nervous beforehand and couldn’t eat his muffin). For lunch we stopped off in Cache Creek, where we saw our first order of Poutine (apparently a Canadian favorite: fries with cheddar and brown gravy on top). After about 6 hours of our audiobook, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, we arrived in Prince George in time for dinner. Although Prince George is the 4th largest city in the province (80,000), there weren’t many restaurants open. We settled upon a Greek restaurant, which we gave a “C”.
